Blackwell's UK is a national chain of bookshops, online retail, mail order and library services which has an annual turnover of £74 million.
The company was founded in 1879 by Benjamin Henry Blackwell, son of the first city librarian, who having finished his education at 13, was apprenticed to a local bookseller for a shilling a week.
Benjamin Henry Blackwell was well-respected in Oxford and was elected the first-ever Liberal councillor for Oxford North.
