The Morris
exhibition traces the development of the Nuffield empire, founded by William
Morris and grown from humble beginnings in a bicycle workshop to become one of the
world’s major vehicle manufacturers One
of his bicycles is on display, together with examples of Morris cars. Displays illustrate the part played by the Cowley plant in the development of Oxford between the two
world wars and its part in the daily lives of its citizens, in particular the
Morris workforce. It will be possible to
glimpse the daily life of Lord Nuffield at Nuffield Place, if the National
Trust succeeds in its project to re-open his former home to the public; click
