2 Section A Text 1 Study the website below and answer Questions 1 – 4 in the Question Booklet. The history and heritage of an Oxford family bookshop Our founder, Benjamin Henry Blackwell, first opened the doors of the 12 -feet square bookshop at 50 Broad Street, Oxford on 1 st January 1879. Since then, we have grown to become more than just one bookshop, wi th a chain of 30 bookshops serving not only individual customers but also a host of libraries, universities, businesses and government departments. The shop has garnered mentions in numerous books and it has been featured in a variety of films. It has been a haven for the bookish from all parts of the globe . The Oxford bookshop itself has grown – sideways, upwards and, most notably, underground. The Norrington Room The Norrington Room, located at the basement of the Oxford bookshop, was opened in 1966. This enormous terraced chamber was built by tunnelling under the south -east corner of the bookshop’s grounds. For many years, it was proudly listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the single largest room in the world selling books. So remember that when you cross the threshold into the Norrington Room, you are entering world record territory. You will be surrounded by nearly three miles of shelves, and over 150,000 books.
