A quick bit of Googling reveals the following:

1)  39 Parsons Street, Banbury - now an Indian restaurant!

2)  Buck & Bell pub now located in North Bar, Banbury.

In Kellys 1852 Directory of Oxfordshire, there is the following entry for the Buck and Bell Inn:

Inland Revenue Office, Buck & Bell Inn, Parsons St, Mr James Freegard, Supervisor.

In the 1882 directory, it is listed as Buck & Bell, J Hopcraft, 39 Parsons St.

By 1890, the landlord is listed as G Jeffery.

I will look through my books about Banbury to see if there's a photo..

I bought a fab book on Banbury but gave it to my Mum for Christmas.  When she gets back from her 4 weeks in Spain, I'll borrow it back off her!

The Buck, as it is now known, is certainly on North Bar.  It recently had a make-over and now appears to be quite trendy.  It's located where Parsons Street meets North Bar/Horsefair.

All the best,

Susan

Ok, I checked one of my other books, 'Banbury Past & Present'.  It doesn't have a photo of the old Buck & Bell, but does state that the North Bar site of the current Buck & Bell was previously Stranks' Restaurant.  "Beyond Stranks' a gateway provided rear access to the Buck & Bell at 39 Parson's St".

So the original Buck & Bell must have been at the top end of Parson's St and backed onto Stranks', where the new Buck & Bell was built in 1935 "after the old pub in Parson's St was converted into two shops".

I walked down Parsons St today and am pretty sure that the old Buck and Bell is now split into two restaurants - the Raj Tandoori and the JayPur Balti House.

It's a black and white timbered building above the shops, there's a small picture at http://www.placetoeat.co.uk/rajtandoori.htm where you can just make it out, and another at http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Oxfordshire/Banbury-317429/Restaurants-Banbury-BR-1.html

This would fit with a connection to the rear of the new Buck and Bell.
