More about Banbury Oxfordshire
Banbury is a market town on the River Cherwell in
Oxfordshire, England. It had a population of 42,802 at
the 2001 census although because of recent expansion the
figure is now about 47,000, and is part of the Cherwell
district.
Banbury is a significant commercial and retail centre
for the surrounding area which is predominantly rural.
Banbury's main industries include car components,
electrical goods, aluminium, food processing, and
printing. Banbury is home to the world's largest coffee
producing facility (Kraft Foods in Banbury) producing
enough coffee to provide for the entire United Kingdom
three times over. The Kraft foods factory was first
built in 1964. Since 1932, Alcan has had a aluminium
proceing plant in Banbury to. The town is famed for
Banbury Cakes — similar to Eccles cakes but oval in
shape. Since July 2000 it has hosted a unique gathering
of traditional mock animals from around the U.K. and
beyond, at the annual Banbury Hobby Horse Festival.
The surrounding area is known informally by some as
Banburyshire [1] and covers the north half of Cherwell
district and neighbouring areas. As Banbury lies on the
border of Oxfordshire and neighbouring counties 'Banburyshire'
includes parts of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire.
Banbury is considered the commercial centre of the
northern half of Oxfordshire.
Banbury Castle was built from 1135 by the bishops of
Lincoln, and survived into the Civil War, when it was
besieged. Due to its proximity to Oxford, the King's
capital, Banbury was a Royalist town, but the
inhabitants were known to be strongly Puritan. The
castle was demolished after the war.
Banbury played an important part in the English Civil
War as a base of operations for Oliver Cromwell, who
planned the battle of Edge Hill in the back room (which
can still be visited), of a local inn, The Reindeer,
still a noted hostelry to this day.
Communications have always played a major role in the
town's prosperity and prevented it from being just a
quiet rural market town, it was a notable stagecoach
stop and both the Red Lion and White Lion were coaching
inns of note. Wealthy travellers would leave well
supplied with Banbury Cakes.
The construction of the Oxford Canal in 1790 greatly
aided the town's growth. Later the railways also helped
its expansion: in 1850 the first rails reached Banbury,
one line from the London and North Western Railway and
one from the Great Western Railway. The railway lines to
Brackley and Woodford Halse (both in Northamptonshire)
closed in 1965, and the smaller of the two stations (in
Merton road) closed shortly after, but the principal
station on the Oxford/Marylebone to Leamington Spa still
flourishes as a popular commuter and tourist station.
The former line from Banbury to the nearby iron-stone
quarry beside Wroxton village opened in about 1900 and
closed in 1967 after the iron-stone ran out. The small
open-cast mine was heavily used during World War II.
The town saw rapid expansion during the 1960s as housing
was built for the overspill from London. Banbury's
continued growth was accelerated by the completion of
the M40 motorway which has given faster access by road
transport to London.
Banbury was one of the boroughs reformed by the
Municipal Reform Act 1835. It retained a borough council
until 1974, when under the Local Government Act 1972 it
became part of the Cherwell district, an unparished area
with Charter Trustees. A civil parish with a town
council was set up in 2000.
