Frank Cooper was a British company that is famous for its "Oxford Marmalade". [ [http://www.englishteastore.com/frcoma.html Frank Cooper Marmalade & Jam] .] It continues as a brand for marmalade and jams.

History

At 83 High Street, Oxford, there is a blue plaque (installed on 10 October 2001) that commemorates Sarah Cooper (1848–1932), marmalade maker and wife of Frank Cooper, whose shop at 83–84 High Street was the origin of the Frank Cooper jam business. She made the first batch in 1874. For a while, the shop was reopened to sell Frank Cooper products.

The Frank Cooper factory, established in 1903, was originally based in Oxford near the railway station on Park End Street. [ [http://www.thejamfactoryoxford.com/building.html The Jam factory Building, Oxford] .] The marmalade produced was especially popular with dons and students in the University. Later the factory moved to Edinburgh, while still maintaining the "Oxford Marmalade" name for promotional purposes.

Frank Cooper's marmalade was taken to Antarctica on Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to the South Pole. A jar was found buried in the ice many years after the ill-fated expedition.

The Frank Cooper brand continues for marmalade and jams. It carried the Royal Warrant and is now owned by Premier Foods.
