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).
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.
