Brookes Union (also known officially as Oxford Brookes Students' Union) is a union representing students at Oxford Brookes University. The union offers a range of services for students; it hosts a number of student societies, an advice service and a system of student representation. The union-run Morals bar was open from 1992 until it closed in 2012 when, as part of a university redevelopment, the union moved to Gipsy Lane Campus (and occupied part of the new John Henry Brookes building). In 2012, it scored one of the lowest satisfaction rates in the National Student Survey but has since improved somewhat.

Morrell Avenue
Morrell Avenue

Morrell Avenue is a residential tree-lined road in Headington, east Oxford, England.The road runs east–west in a gentle curve around the southern edge of South Park, south of Headington Hill, rising from west to east. At the western end is a junction with St Clement's (A420), part of the main arterial road leading east out of Oxford. At the eastern end of the road is a roundabout close to Warneford Hospital. It continues as Warneford Lane and there is a junction with Divinity Road to the south. The trees are mainly mature lime trees. The avenue is named after a local brewery family, the Morrells, who used to live on their estate at Headington Hill Hall to the north, including South Park. It was built in 1929–31, originally with council houses. The architect, Kellett Ablett, started working in the City Engineer's department at Oxford in 1925. The houses were judged to be of high quality for the time, both architecturally and environmentally.Morrell Avenue is mentioned in a number of books including The Silent Traveller in Oxford, originally published in 1944 and written by the Chinese author Chiang Yee, who lived in Oxford for a while. It is also mentioned in the book Dark Clouds Gather by Katy Sara Culling about mental illness due to Morrell Avenue's proximity to Warneford Hospital, which specialises in mental illness.On 9 July 2012, the Olympic torch was carried along Morrell Avenue before the London 2012 Olympic Games.
