The Waggon and Horses, Southmoor
Once part of Abingdon's Morlands Brewery estate as can be seen from that company's distinctive "Artist" tile just visible beside the door.
The Morlands livery is still on the pub sign too although new owners Greene King have stuck their logo on the front wall.

The Waggon & Horses (2) - sign, Faringdon Road, Southmoor, Oxon
In Victorian and earlier times, when many people could neither write nor read, a waggon and horses would be a familiar sight. It therefore became very popular as a name for public houses as the sign would be easily recognisable.

House by the old A420
This section of road used to be the main road from Oxford to Faringdon. It was bypassed by the dual carriageway to the north. Beggar's Lane used to run North from here to the village via Harris's Lane but was cut off by the new road.

The Waggon & Horses (1), Faringdon Road, Southmoor, Oxon
An old public house which is Grade II listed and described as early 18th century. Elsewhere it is claimed that parts of the building date back 400 years, which would make it older. It was originally a private house but at some stage it became a public house. Originally it was on the main road the A420, but this was diverted onto a new bypass. At that point the then owners the Morland Brewery of Abingdon wanted to convert it to housing. However after strong public opposition the brewery decided to invest money into it and today it is a popular local facility with a restaurant. It is now a Greene King house, following their purchase of Morland in 2000.

The Waggon & Horses (3) - Morland plaque, Faringdon Road, Southmoor, Oxon
Morland Brewery could trace its origins back to 1711. In 2000 the company and its assets were sold to the Greene King brewery in Suffolk. Greene King lost no time in closing the Morland brewery at Abingdon the same year. Production of Morland beers was then transferred to Suffolk.
The Waggon & Horses public house was for many years a Morland house and still has outside this Morland plaque. The plaque commemorated George Morland who was a noted artist and painter. He holds his palette in one hand and a pint of beer in the other.
