Rose Revived flooding
"Brace yourself, Oxford - this is the Rose Revived pub beside the Thames at Newbridge, about 15 miles upstream of Port Meadow and Oxford city centre.
We have to stop concreting over the green belt around Oxford or scenes like this will only get worse and more frequent."

Halls Brewery Company T-shirt
Pubs and Breweries in Oxford
A white medium-size t-shirt with an image of a cartoon hare kicking a cartoon bear wearing a yellow jumper. The T-shirt has the phrase 'Stuff the Bear' written on it in all capitals.
The reverse side of the t-shirt shows the cartoon hare victorious with the phrase 'Follow the Hare!' in all caps with the Halls Brewery logo.
"We found this t-shirt when clearing out my grandmum's house after she sadly passed away in 2019. My grandmum (Shelagh), who lived in Summertown, Oxford for over 70 years, was not an ale drinker - her chosen tipple was a triple gin and soda! We have a suspicion that this t-shirt might have belonged to my grandfather (who died in 1996) but no one remembers him wearing it. I would love to find out more about when this t-shirt was printed and where it was distributed. Although I inherited my grandmum's love of gin I am also a keen ale drinker so it was decided that I should keep the t-shirt."
