Local area guide
Skip hire in Banbury
Banbury is a market town in Oxfordshire, sitting on the River Cherwell around 23 miles north of Oxford, with a population of around 55,000. It grew as a wool and cloth town in the medieval period and later as a major livestock market — the Banbury sheep fair was one of the largest in the country. The town is known worldwide through the nursery rhyme "Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross", and the present cross, erected in 1859 to mark a royal wedding, replaced an earlier one destroyed by Puritans in 1600. The bronze Fine Lady statue was added at the crossroads in 2005.
Banbury is equally famous for its cakes — a spiced, oval currant pastry made in the town since at least the sixteenth century and once exported around the world — and for a long industrial history that included Samuelson's agricultural machinery works, one of the largest in Victorian England, and later the aluminium works and the Kraft coffee plant, whose distinctive smell was a feature of the town for decades.
The town centre retains a mix of Georgian frontages and older buildings around the Market Place, High Street and Parsons Street, with the Grade I listed St Mary's Church — an unusual neoclassical rebuild of 1790 — and Tooley's Boatyard, a working Georgian dry dock on the Oxford Canal that is among the oldest in the country. The canal runs through the centre, and Castle Quay alongside it combines shopping with the Banbury Museum. Broughton Castle, a moated medieval and Tudor manor house a few miles west, was a Parliamentarian centre during the Civil War and has featured in numerous films.
Banbury is very well connected, sitting on junction 11 of the M40 and served by Banbury station on the Chiltern Main Line, with trains to London Marylebone in around an hour and to Birmingham in 45 minutes. That position has made the town a significant logistics and motorsport-engineering location, with the wider Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire "Motorsport Valley" cluster nearby. Surrounding settlements include Bloxham, Adderbury, Bodicote, Middleton Cheney, Cropredy — home of the long-running Fairport Convention festival — and Deddington.
Housing in Banbury ranges from Georgian townhouses and ironstone cottages in the older centre to Victorian terraces around Grimsbury and the railway, interwar and post-war estates at Neithrop, Ruscote and Easington, and very substantial modern development at Hanwell Fields, Longford Park and Bretch Hill. The distinctive golden Hornton ironstone of the surrounding villages gives much of the older building stock its colour, and the town has grown rapidly in recent decades as a commuter and employment centre serving both Oxford and Birmingham.
