"This striking photograph captures a pivotal moment in the long-standing tradition of the Town and Gown battle in Oxford, which took place in 1866. The image shows a tense stand-off between university students, clad in academic gowns, and town locals, who had gathered on the streets to engage in their annual argument and fight. The cause of the conflict was often rooted in tensions between the two groups, with students perceived as being out of touch with the local community, and townspeople resentful of the perceived privilege and elitism of the university. The situation escalated into a full-blown battle, with both sides throwing stones and other projectiles at each other. However, the arrival of the police marked a turning point in the conflict. In an attempt to restore order, the policemen wade into the crowd, attempting to calm everyone down and prevent further violence. The students and townspeople, momentarily taken aback by the intervention of the law enforcement, hesitate, offering a brief respite from the chaos. Despite the intervention of the police, the Town and Gown battle would continue to be a recurring event in Oxford for many years to come. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted tensions that once existed between the university and the local community, and the role of law enforcement in maintaining peace and order in the face of conflict."
