No. 7 Market Place had been owned by C.S.Liddiard (grocers) since the 1880’s until around 1970 when it became a shop selling wool and clothes. During 1996 extensive renovations took place in order to turn it into a place for Faringdon’s Tourist Information Centre.
Many discoveries were made during the renovations, not least an old cobbled passageway at the side of the shop going through to Swan Lane.
An occupational history of other premises, as far as is known, can be found on the ‘Shops & Businesses in the Market Place‘ page. There is also a ‘Market Place Street Views‘ page that contains general information about the Market Place and may contain further details on the premises shown in the photographs, and a page specifically about ‘Faringdon Market‘.
