Magdalen Street is a short shopping street in central Oxford, England, just north of the original north gate in the city walls. Traditionally, the name of the street is pronounced /mæɡdəlɪn/ and not as the name of the College, which is always /mɔːdlɪn/.〔Jones, Daniel, eds. P.Roach, J.Setter and J.Esling ''Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary'', 18th Edition, 2011, Cambridge University Press〕 At the southern end, Magdalen Street meets Cornmarket Street continuing to the south, Broad Street to the east and George Street to the west. At the northern end it continues as St Giles' to the north, with Beaumont Street to the west. To the west are shops. The street used to be the location of Oxford's leading department store for many years, Elliston & Cavell. It later became a Debenhams store. On the northern corner with Beaumont Street is the Macdonald Randolph Hotel, widely considered to be Oxford's leading hotel. To the east is a historic church, St Mary Magdalen, originally established in Saxon times.〔(History ), (St Mary Magdalen Church, Oxford ).〕 Beyond that is Magdalen Street East and Balliol College. North of the church is the Martyrs' Memorial, commemorating the Oxford Martyrs. Thornton's Bookshop opened in Magdalen Street in 1835 and was located here until 1840, and again from 1853 to 1863. St Giles' Fair, held at the beginning of September each year and mainly in St Giles' to the north, extends into Magdalen Street. During the 1930s, the poet John Betjeman noted that:
