Park End Street

Park End Street is a street in central Oxford, England, to the west of the centre of the city, close to the railway station at its western end.

The Frank Cooper factory, established in 1903, manufacturer of the well-known "Oxford Marmalade", was originally based on Park End Street. [ [http://www.thejamfactoryoxford.com/building.html The Jam Factory Building, Oxford] .] The marmalade produced was especially popular with dons and students at Oxford University. The original building is now known as "The Jam Factory", and houses an arts centre, restaurant, and bar. [ [http://www.thejamfactoryoxford.com/ The Jam Factory, Oxford] .] .
