A few door further west stands the imposing Georgian frontage of the Spread
Eagle Hotel, which was built around 1728 as a private residence for the
Stone family. It is reputed that the building was construsted on the site of
an earlier inn know as the Oxford arms, and in front of what was at the time
the Crown Inn. Conrary to some people's belief, the Spread Eagle was never a
coaching inn, and in fact it was not until after 1833 when the property was
bought by Charles Simmons that the use of the current building changed from
a house to a hotel. The enterprising Charles Simmons later built a brewery
in the back garden, and this was probably built on the site of the former
CROWN INN.....In addition to his brewery in the back
garden of the Spread Eagle, Charles Simmons also opened a drinking house
known as the EAGLE TAP..... Spread Eagle Hotel.....Licensee.....Charles Simmons.....1837-1871 |

George Street A lively shopping street with one of T.G. Jackson's early buildings lying in wait half-way down it, recently cleaned and now quite startling. It was built (1880-1) as the City of Oxford High School for Boys, later the College of Further Education, now the Social Studies Faculty Centre. Opposite the New Theatre, the George Cafe (gone), a fashionable Oxford meeting-place of the twenties and thirties, was the only restaurant in England with punkahs. |
