Present and former pubs of Oxford’s High Street
There were three inns and about ten pubs in the High Street during the nineteenth century; more if you count pubs such as the Radcliffe Arms just off the High in Radcliffe Square. Today the only ones left are the Eastgate Hotel, the Mitre, the Chequers, and the Wheatsheaf.
