• Dreaming Spires Stone: The Dreaming Spires are the spired domes and towers that make up the skyline of Oxford.
• Cowley Chrome: For Cowley, which was transformed after 1912 when William Morris relocated Morris Motors Limited and made it a world-famous centre of automotive and engineering skills.
• Inklings Blue: For The Inklings, a literary discussion group associated with JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis at the University of Oxford, meeting at The Eagle and Child Pub.
