There is an old building on Oldfield Grove (above) that interestingly marks the line of an old street, Cornbury Road, which once led off Oldfield Grove (then Oldfield Road). I believe it used to be the pub that is shown on a map from 1916 on the corner of Cornbury Road and Oldfield Road, which was called the Baron's Arms. I can't find any more information about it though!
Yes you are right this was a pub and I used to live in it in the early sixties
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteSorry for my delayed reaction - I haven't been on my blog for a long time - I am just updating it now!! It's a lovely building to live in - do you know when it stopped being a pub? It's nice when they retain old buildings to keep a bit of character in the area!
