The Penny Black, 58 Sheep Street
One thing Bicester isn't short of is public houses. Surprisingly The Penny Black is a fairly recent arrival, having opened in October 1997. The rather splendid building is much older having previously been a post office. Indeed the words Post Office can be seen inscribed in stone below the pub's name. This is a J.D. Wetherspoon pub.

Sheep Street, Bicester
Another view of Sheep Street. This time looking SE down towards the Market Square. Note the interesting HSBC building in the distance with its distinctive domed roof, an interesting landmark in Bicester Town.

The Penny Black pub sign, 58 Sheep Street
Situated in the pedestrianised part of Sheep Street, one of the town's main shopping streets, the pub is named after the first ever postage stamp. This is because the premises were formerly a post office. But the J.D. Wetherspoon pub wasn't opened here until October 1997.

Sheep Street, Bicester
The pedestrianized main shopping street in Bicester, Sheep Street. This scene is facing North, next to the town centre clock! This street was fully pedestrianized from a normal through road back in the 1990's. The famous clock shown was manufactured and fabricated by my uncle!

The Old Post Office (now 'Penny Black' pub)
A nice closeup shot of what for many years was the town's main Post Office, until its closure in the early 1990s. I personally can remember this superb post office in its glory days. While now a pub that is not quite to my taste (too rowdy?), original details to the exterior of its post office past still remain, as well as its suitable modern name. A superb important building that sits on Bicester's main town street, Sheep Street.
