Boswells of Oxford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boswells of Oxford (also more normally known simply as Boswells locally) is the largest independent department store in Oxford, England. It has been trading from the same location in Broad Street since 1738, opposite Balliol College and close to the spot (marked with a cross in the middle of the road) where the Oxford Martyrs were burnt at the stake.

The store is very traditional in style and is a well-known local shopping landmark. It also has a smaller side entrance at the north end of Cornmarket Street.
