Description

Oxford covered market building was officially opened on 1 November 1774 and has a long, varied and interesting heritage.
The market came about as a result of the 'Oxford Mileways Act' of 1771 which was introduced to make the city's main roads safer, provide more space for traffic, allow for the demolition of the old city gates, the widening of the narrow streets and the construction of new roads.
The old markets located in Butcher Row, Fish Street and St. Aldate's, which had survived since medieval times, were considered to have become messy, untidy and unpleasant and these were condemned by the Oxford Mileways Act and promised to be relocated in the new Covered Market.
As the Covered Market has been trading for over two centuries, it obviously has a rich and varied heritage and some businesses have stood the test of time and still operate under family names with their origins way back in history. Trades have changed over the centuries and now incorporate, cake shops, florists, jewellers and barbers.
