Old corner building - Oldfield Grove


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!

  2. Hi Laura,
    Sorry 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!
