old Kiddlington pub

[Trees]

Continuing on my quest to find the public houses kept by ancestors
Richard YOUNG was the Inn keeper of THE DOG School Rd Kidlington Does anyone know if it still exists? Has it changed its name?

Many thanks Dj I'm on a bit of a pub crawl ' ' Trying to trace all the places kept by the ancestors strange to find so many as none of the family would make present publicans rich.

Hi  No pub at Kiddington (shame!) but there is a pub which used to be the Dog (now the Dogwood, heaven help us) at Kidlington.

Many thanks Maggott that sounds like  the one slip of the typing finger it should be Kidlington Is the Dogwood in School road? How old is it? Am i likely to find a photo anywhere do you think?

Hi  Dogwood is on the service road beside Oxford Road - the main drag through Kidlington.  There are masses of pix of Kidlington -I haven't got a link, I'm afraid, but the Oxford Local History collection (Oxford Library, Bonn Square Oxford) has a good collection.
The Dog had an intermediate manifestation - as the Bassett- before becoming the Dogwood.
Cheers Maggott

Oh dear thats a great name change Its nearly as bad as the Bell in Hampton Poyle having a verry (thank goodness) short time as "The Gone Fish Inn"
Many thanks for your help that clears another pub up for me
