We take a look back through our archives to look at nine interesting photos taken in 1982.

It was the year that shoppers found out that Woolworths in Cornmarket was going to shut and new pub owners Tony Cooper and wife Monica took over the White Swan Inn.

Pictures show actor Hugh Grant performing the show Privileged at the start of his glistening career, an Oxford Mail float carrying Miss Oxford at the Lord Mayour's Parade and Patti Boulaye performing to the delight of an audience in Oxford.

While, other snaps show one of the Oxford Mail reporters took part in a campout with hundreds of others to raise awareness of homelessness and protests over hospital drovers and police fraud.
