Banbury is a significant commercial and retail centre for its many satellite villages and neighbouring towns in what is predominantly a rural area. Lying on the River Cherwell, Banbury was once home to the largest livestock market in Europe. The market closed in 1998 and new houses have been developed on the site. In the last few years Polish workers have increased the population by 10%, revitalising the Roman Catholic churches, and opening several Polish food shops.
