I was an American stationed at RAF Upper Heyford. I moved
to Banbury and Lived on Queens Rd. My roomate and I used to walk down to
The Bear nightly for darts and a few pints. Fond memories of the staff
there - warm and friendly and fast became friends. Always a fun time
there with the great jukebox music, darts, and all. Will always be in my
memories |
