Since this gallery launched dozens of people have got in touch to share their memories of Oxford's lost pubs.

Some of our readers' suggestions have been added to the gallery above and some stories about those pubs have been added below.

The Jack Russell in Salford Road, Marston, is one of the more recent pubs to close in the city after it was sold by brewery Greene King in October last year.

The first photo in our gallery shows a scene in the pub in May 1995 when leaseholders Jim and Lim Macdonald were granted a children's licence, allowing children in the bar area when meals were being served before 9.30pm.

Oxford Mail:

Youngsters from St Nicholas First School nearby were roped in to pose for an Oxford Mail photographer as they pretended to enjoy a few pints of bitter.

The photo below shows prankster barman Andy Sheldon and his wife Lynne talking to customer Charlie Simmonds in the Marlborough House.

Oxford Mail:

The pub in Marlborough Road closed its doors in 2008 but back in October 1980 My Sheldon made the news after pinning 400 boxes of matches to the walls.

The pub increased the price of a box from 3p to 4p leading to one regular coming in with a 3p box from elsewhere and dropping it on the bar when he had a pint.

Mr Sheldon decided to pin the boxes above the bar and soon dozens of customers were doing the same.

Dozens of pubs have closed in recent years, such as The Duke of Edinburgh in St Clements, Far From The Madding Crowd in Friars Entry and the Honey Pot in Hollybush Row.

This is the scene just behind the Carpenters Arms in Botley Road shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. The two young lads in shirtsleeves are John (left) and Peter Wren, sons of the landlord Ellis.

Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Oxford branch chairman Tony Goulding said he was sad to see so many had disappeared.

He said: "None of our current pubs are safe and the main dangers are property developers and cheap booze in supermarkets.

"Those are the main enemies of pub going."

Mr Goulding added: "We have got a good baker's dozen of pubs around the city which would make a good week's crawl never mind a night's crawl.

"They are not just my loss, they are a community loss.

"When a pub closes a small part of the community goes with it.

"If you do not use them you will lose them and once you have lost them you will not get them back."

Oxford Mail:

A sad day in April 2012 as The Cavalier in Copse Lane, which closed four years earlier, is demolished.
