Tony Morris has launched ‘Morris Oxford’, combining his surname with that of the car which earned the city worldwide fame as the home of motor manufacturing.
The website contains an array of photographs of ‘People, Places and Things’ together with ‘Stories from Oxford’.
What’s more, with a simple click on each picture, a detailed account of its history and significance to the city springs on to the screen.
Here you can read about Martyrs’ Memorial, the Headington Shark, the ruins of Godstow Abbey, the Covered Market, the Westgate Centre, Oxford Castle and much more.
Famous Oxford people feature too.
Among them are James Murray, founder of the Oxford English Dictionary, James Sadler, England’s first aeronaut, the Victorian photographer Henry Taunt, Guy Fawkes, and, of course, William Morris, the author’s namesake.
Tony Morris was born in Oxford and spent his working life in book publishing.

Mr Morris, of Leckford Road, North Oxford, sums up his website: “There’s one posting a month. The site is 100 per cent uncommercial - no advertising, no hidden costs, no subscription fee. All for love.
“I guess you could say it’s my homage to this extraordinary place in which we live.”
