The New Oscott Tavern was situated at 211 Chester Road. This pub is now used as a restaurant and tea garden.

I frequented the bar a lot in my youth 1975-1981 as I lived in Antrobus Road and it was just a short walk down the hill to the pub. I recall there being the usual cluster of regular nightly drinkers, a dart board and hence pub darts team, pool table, fruit machine and pinball machine. Sadly my memory no longer extends to the names of the Landlord and Landlady, but I do recall she used to come and play darts now and again to the delight of a number of the regulars - she was very good looking! The names of the regulars have long gone apart from 'Mick' a carpet-fitter and nightly regular who was pretty good at darts.
