This intriguing map appears to offer a guide to the pubs of Victorian Oxford, designed in a similar way to tourist maps today. Beerhouses, breweries and other licensed premises are all shown, clustered around the city centre. Today, it offers a fascinating insight into the drinking habits of the former citizens of this world-renowned city.
