Witney is the
largest town in West Oxfordshire and is famous the world over for
its blanket industry. Sadly the last surviving blanket factory closed
a few years ago and much of the land that was once used in the industry
has been redeveloped for housing.
The Conservative
leader, David Cameron, is the MP for Witney.
Witney has a
varied shopping area and local stores share the streets with national
and international chain stores.
