71: Oxford Holographics
No. 71 is the left half of the large green building shown in this picture. It was built in the late eighteenth century, and is a Grade II listed building (ref. 1485/409).
On 20 January 1844 the draper H. Hatch announced inJackson's Oxford Journal that he was moving from these premises to 28 Cornmarket Street.
At the time of the 1851 census Richard Jones, the chemist here, lived over the shop with his wife and four children, plus an assistant, an apprentice, a servant, and a lodger. By 1861 his son of the same name had taken over the shop.
In 1881 the chemist Henry Varney lived over his shop with his 11-year-old niece and two servants.
