A TOUR OF OLNEY MARKET PLACE - NUMBER 14

Cox & Robinson
No 14 Market Place, 2005
Number 14 Market Place is the first property on the east side of the Market Place. In 1801 the property was occupied by John Andrews but it was empty at the time of the second levy in 1810/11. In 1833 Thomas Revis owned the property. By the 1880's it was owned by Mrs Elizabeth Beales, Bootmaker. Ten years later E Norton also had a ladies and childrens boot and shoe shop here, while S Norton ran a pawn broking business!

A change of trade occurred in 1895 when George Joyce took over the property. He described himself as a Coppersmith, Tin, Zinc and Iron Plate Worker and ran an ironmongery business for a few years. William Moss then conducted his tailoring business in Number 14 for a short time but by 1907 he had moved across the Market Place. At some time the property was divided into two small shops and there are no known records of who lived in them after 1907.
