Local historian Malcolm Graham and former city planner and conservationist Edith Gollnast talk to the director of Oxford Preservation Trust, Debbie Dance, about a new series of published heritage walks. Oxford Heritage Walks is published by the trust, written by Graham, and illustrated by Gollnast. The books highlight some of Oxford’s finest buildings, including those that are vulnerable, and record some of those that have been lost. Book 1 is On Foot from Oxford Castle to St Giles and book 2 is On Foot from Broad Street. The books revise and expand on the much-loved Oxford heritage guides from the 1970s.

Graham was head of the Centre for Oxfordshire Studies before retiring and has published extensively on local history. Gollnast spent 35 years working with Oxford’s historic buildings and areas in the city planning department. Dance has been director of Oxford Preservation Trust, a charity that owns more than 900 acres and listed buildings in and around the city, since 1999.
