The Oxclose was situated on Oxclose Lane.  This was a grade-II listed pub.
I used to work as a barman in the Oxclose in about 1968/9. It was a great place!! And the craic was brilliant. Really enjoyed working there.

This pub was sold in 2016 with plans to convert it into a Chinese Restaurant, However it seems the plan has fallen through and the building is back on the market and currently boarded up.
