Making Cars at Cowley
In 1913 William Morris, one of the pioneers of the British motor industry, converted a derelict military college on the outskirts of Oxford into a modest workshop to manufacture motor vehicles. So began one of the extraordinary success stories of motoring history.
By producing practical and affordable cars which sold all over the world, Morris widened the social scale of car ownership and thus helped to change the face of modern transport. This earned him a series of public honours, leading to his elevation to the peerage as Lord Nuffield in 1938.
