Hereford - Oswin & Co

In 1884, at the age of 33 William Henry Oswin opened his jewellery store in Hereford. He found the a wonderful location for his new venture near Hereford cathedral. Following his passing in 1905, William Oswins estate was put up for sale and Arthur Butt, a jeweller from Chester took interest in the business and shortly become the new owner.

Arthur had the opportunity to expand the business into 16 & 17 Broad Street, providing Oswin & Co. with a larger jewellery store. Over the years Oswin & Co. has kept the ethos of its founder William, to offer an array of fine jewellery, silverware, watches and a wonderful jewellery repair service.

After owning the business for 103 years it was time for the Butt Family to retire and in 2008 the Warr family became owners of one of the oldest stores in Hereford. Oswin & Co continued to reside in the same 1905 location on Broad Street unti the opening of the old market in Hereford which saw focus moving away from Broad Street. This was an opportune time to relocate to the corner of Widemarsh Street in 2018. The new store carried with it all the traditions enjoyed by customers over the years. Over 115 years later, Oswin & Co. remains a focal business in Hereford city centre.
