The city's leading football club, Oxford United, are currently in League One, the third tier of league football, though they enjoyed some success in the past in the upper reaches of the league. They were elected to the Football League in 1962, reached the Third Division after three years and the Second Division after six, and most notably reached the First Division in 1985 – 23 years after joining the Football League. They spent three seasons in the top flight, winning the Football League Cup a year after promotion. The 18 years that followed relegation in 1988 saw their fortunes decline gradually, though a brief respite in 1996 saw them win promotion to the new (post Premier League) Division One in 1996 and stay there for three years. They were relegated to the Football Conference in 2006, staying there for four seasons before returning to the Football League in 2010.

Green We have to take the DNA and insert it into the human cells in a very controlled environment. And then we have to identify a clone – a cell that is starting to make the vaccine, but doing that from one single copy of the DNA we’ve inserted. The vaccine is a virus, so it’s multiplying in the cell; eventually the cell pops, the virus is released,

It later housed the court of Charles II during the Great Plague of London in 1665–1666. Although reluctant to do so, he was forced to evacuate when the plague got too close. [29] The city suffered two serious fires in 1644 and 1671. [30] The town underwent a radical makeover of its buildings during this period, with the most notable being Tom Tower in Christ Church, the Sheldonian Theatre and the Botanic Gardens.

Oxford is the junction for a short branch line to Bicester, a remnant of the former Varsity line to Cambridge. This Oxford–Bicester line was upgraded to 100mph (161km/h) running during an 18-month closure in 2014/2015 – and is scheduled to be extended to form the planned East West Rail line to Milton Keynes. [71] East West Rail is proposed to continue through Bletchley (for Milton Keynes Central) to Bedford, [72] Cambridge, [73] and ultimately Ipswich and Norwich, [74] thus providing alternative route to East Anglia without needing to travel via, and connect between, the London mainline terminals.

Arriving at the gates of Oxford, Algar is also blinded, but being unremorseful, never regains his sight. Some famous faces appear in the book such as Albert Einstein and Oscar Wilde. But there are also the stories of people you might not have expected to find in a history of Oxford University. The book includes some very personal, human stories which we can relate to today.

In 2007, Oxford celebrated a thousand years of Oxfordshire history by holding a fire festival called “ Luminox” on Broad Street. This saw the street undergo a magical transformation with the temporary installation of a thousand little pots of fire arranged in various structures, including a huge swinging pendulum that would swing around a thousand times, each swing representing a year of Oxfordshire history. Broad Street is a popular focus for the city’s events, from French markets to hosting the Coca Cola lorry, but it will be a while before the city sees anything as impressive as Luminox taking place on this historic street again.During the period of Middle English, Oxford's pronunciation evolved to become Oxenford, as written in " Clerkes Tale of Oxenford" in Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. [17] Eventually, Modern English saw Oxenford elided to become Oxford, as it is known today. The University Archives was established in 1634. Based in the tower of the Old Bodleian Library, it is the institutional archive of Oxford University and looks after its historic administrative records. It provides a service making those records available to all who need them, by they University administrators here in Oxford or historians from across the world.
