The Lighthouse in Oxford information


Ralph Agas' Map of 1578 shows an underdeveloped area to the north of St George's Tower, the current plot of the Lighthouse pub

The Lighthouse is a public house in central Oxford, England. The pub is located at 1 Park End Street, next to the Castle Mill Stream and close to the end of the Oxford Canal.

The site of the modern-day Lighthouse pub was within a stone's throw from the Norman city walls. Flanked on either side by the 11th century St George's Tower and Castle Mound, the area was part of the moat system guarding Oxford Castle.[1] The area remained without significant development or residence until after 1790 opening of the Oxford Canal.
