Oxford. A back street local near the Oxford Canal, the pub was built in 1869 and was known as the Printer's Devil (an apprentice at the nearby university press), then acquired in 1881 by Morrell's Brewery in whose hands it remained for over a century. The pub was featured in the first episode of the Inspector Morse TV series. There are three rooms surrounding the bar, all decorated with an eclectic mix of furniture and bric-a-brac (I especially loved the music room). My beer of choice was the Bookies Best Bitter brewed by Greene King.
