In their book, "British Gunmakers and their Trade Labels etc.,W.Keith Neal and D.H.Black,page 88 state,
"J.Venables & Son have been established at 99 St, Aldate Sreet,Oxford,a little before 1832& still conduct business at this address.[cica 1980].Plate 291 in this book shows a Venables trade label confirming the address. The differences in street numbers given by others, is almost certainley due to street renumbering.Examples of cartridges loaded and sold by Venables include "The Oxford" colour Blue or Black marked with the coat of arms of the city of Oxford, and Loaded only by J.Venables and Son, Gun and Rifle Makers.
