The Phoenix Picturehouse: 100 Years of Oxford Cinema Memories

The Phoenix is one of only a handful of British cinemas to have remained active for the past 100 years. This is the story of Oxford’s oldest continuously operating cinema, as told by its staff and customers. Featuring first-hand reminiscences dating back to the days of silent movies, and illustrated with a fabulous collection of over 100 images, many of which have never appeared in print until now, 'The Phoenix Picturehouse' presents a wide-ranging account of a popular local institution whose changing fortunes exemplify a century of British cinema and cinemagoing history.
