The grand entrance to the the Oxford University Press building, built c 1830. The expansion of the OUP in the early 19th century forced it out of the Clarendon building in Broad Street. In 1825 the Delegates (ruling body made up of academics) bought land from Worcester College. Buildings were constructed from plans drawn up by Daniel Robertson and Edward Blore, and the Press moved into them in 1830. This site remains the main office of OUP in the 21st century, at the corner of Walton Street and Great Clarendon Street, north-west of Oxford city centre.
