Turl Street - Commerce

Commerce

While it is dominated by the three Turl Street colleges, the street houses several shops, including a sports shop, a bar and restaurant (the Turl Street Kitchen), a costume-magic shop, an Oxfam shop, a number of jewellery and memorabilia shops, a cafe, a news agent/general store, a whisky shop, a shoe shop (Duckers, featured in Atonement), a picture-framing workshop, and the traditional gentleman's tailors, Walters of Oxford. The site now occupied by the Turl Street Kitchen was once the QI Building ("QI Oxford") (associated with the Quite Interesting television show).

The Turl Street colleges also have student housing above and around many of these shops.

Famous quotes containing the word commerce:

    The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Honour sinks where commerce long prevails.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    It was you that broke the new wood,
    Now is a time for carving.
    We have one sap and one root—
    Let there be commerce between us.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
