#OnThisDay in 1932, #SouthPark was bought from the Morrell family - famous for their brewing business in the city - by the Oxford Preservation Trust. In 1951, the Trust gave the land to the City of Oxford to be preserved as an open space for the benefit of the public known as South Park. Today, South Park is a popular green space used for walking, relaxing, picnics, and playing, as well as a space for larger public events such as food festivals and firework displays. 💚
