The New Oxford pub occupies a corner site in Bexley Square across from the former Salford Town Hall.  It is described as, "A three-storey public house .... constructed of brick with a hipped slate roof. The ground floor is rather plain ... The windows are sliding sash on the 1st floor, and combination on the 2nd, all with brick headers."  The "Pubs of Manchester" website says that the pub dates back to the 1850s and has had a variety of names along the way including: "The Court Tavern", "The Amateurs Arms" and the "Oxford Hotel" although I have been unable to verify this on maps or in directories of the period.  The New Oxford is one of the few public houses still operating in the vicinity of Chapel Street in Salford in 2013.
