Or perhaps a less familiar place? \u003ci\u003eJericho\u003c\/i\u003e, once seedy backstreets with Oxford’s main porn cinema and an astonishing concentration of pubs, now mythologised by Philip Pullman and gentrified beyond the wildest imaginings of the college groundsmen and porters for whom it was designed. \u003ci\u003eCowley Road\u003c\/i\u003e, the ethnic mix of restaurants, the core of Labour-voting Oxford East ward, and one of the first to elect Green councillors. \u003ci\u003eIffley\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Osney Island,\u003c\/i\u003e characterful places where one side of the street is barges, the other terraced houses with watermarks on the front doors. \u003ci\u003eCowley \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Blackbird Leys,\u003c\/i\u003e rough, industrial but also textured by modern history. In \u003ci\u003eSummertown\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNorth Oxford\u003c\/i\u003e, huge, elegant houses back up to the river, and \u003ci\u003eNorth Parade\u003c\/i\u003e has crescents of Georgian splendour.  \u003ci\u003eMesopotamia\u003c\/i\u003e attests to Oxford’s history as a place of military adventure, and with the arrival of one of the UK’s largest mosques, the consequences of those adventures, in a thriving and mostly happy multiculturalism. There are also places of such blandness, like \u003ci\u003eHeadington\u003c\/i\u003e that McGuinness relishes the challenge of writing about them. And there are the colleges, the bookshops, galleries and museum, the city centre prison, the students, the tourists, the refugees and asylum seekers. Oxford’s combination of history and the Establishment, and of transient population and change make the city a compelling subject.  Patrick McGuinness has lived and worked in Oxford for thirty years and brings an intimate knowledge to this new exploration of the city. In this book he reflects on the familiar and introduces us to the unnoticed, to create a new way of looking at Oxford.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e ","brand":"Seren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39386609614926,"sku":"9781781726204","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7369\/products\/original_e3f974c1-63e1-4484-a0c6-24017a493b60.jpg?v=1752240027"}],"url":"https:\/\/inpressbooks.co.uk\/collections\/patrick-mcguinness\/leo-mellor.oembed","provider":"Inpress Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
