The technology of projecting moving images on to a screen was still in its infancy, but the &#8216;cinematograph&#8217; had become wildly popular and a wave of new cinemas quickly followed, offering thrilling entertainment to both Town and Gown. In a 27-year period no fewer than ten new cinemas opened. This talk introduces audiences to this fascinating aspect of Oxford&#8217;s social history.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Refreshments provided (from 7.15pm)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Admission: free for members (\u00a313 annual sub); \u00a33 visitor charge.
