Bath Place Oxford

One of the smallest streets in Oxford, Bath Place. It has been a couple of years since I posted a photo of this little street, see here. Looking around the internet for a little more information on Bath Place, I found this interesting page about the history of Bath Place and the little hotel that is down there. Have a look here. Any visitor to Oxford this summer, should have a wander down Bath Place, there is a great Oxford Pub down the alley, The Turf Tavern.

Beer barrels at the Turf Tavern

I need to drink beer

As I'm doing my taxes...

Can I deduct that?

If you take a look at this picture you would probably think that a lot of people are preparing to do their taxes already. I came across this Haiku last night at the Beer Haiku Daily. It was the first time I read a couple of these Japanese poems and some of them actually made me smile. There are even Haiku's with some good advice:

A bit of advice

If you want to drink all day

You must start early

Bath Place

Just of Holywell Street nestled between New College and the old city wall you will find Bath Place, which is a small street with a couple of cottages and the Bath Place Hotel.  The main reason that locals and visitors head down Bath Place is that at the end of this dead end street is a small passage that leads you to the Turf Tavern, perhaps one of the better 'Real Ale' pubs in Oxford, I think it would also be Oxfords best hidden pub, so much so that a friend of mine who is Oxford born and bread did not know about it, and he is 40+ years old...  Well worth a visit..

Now to all the daily visitors, sorry for the missing few photo's this week.  I have been very bust at work and socially with a couple of last night trips to London and Reading, hope to get the regular photo's up next week.
