Today, Headington Quarry is a quiet residential suburb on the eastern fringes of Oxford, but its foundations are in the vast stone pits which for centuries provided the raw materials to build some of the most famous and photographed college buildings in the world.

Join local tour guide Maurice East to discover the unique history of this forgotten industrial landscape and hear how the historic beauty of the University was created in a village which became known as one of the most wild and feared places in Oxford.

This talk will be given in the pub and not recorded.
