The Inspector Morse TV franchise has brought in millions of pounds of tourism cash to Oxford over 30 years.
Fans of the Inspector Morse, Lewis and Endeavour TV series have visited the city to see the locations and inevitably sought out the pubs they saw on screen.
While some of the pubs used as locations were actually out of the county many were not and here we are featuring 10 hostelries which have appeared in TV episodes over more than three decades.

The TV dramas are based on characters created by Oxford author Colin Dexter, who died in 2017.

Mr Dexter was often given cameo roles in the TV dramas, and liked to drink at the Randolph Hotel where a bar has been named in his honour.
He died in 2017 and said in his will he wanted Endeavour to be the final TV series.
Pubs across the city, where Morse visited in the TV series, continue to benefit from tourists calling in.
Dave Richardson, a spokesman for Oxford CAMRA, said: "Many thousands of tourists over the years have come in search of pubs they have seen on the TV series, including the Victoria Arms, the White Horse and the Old Bookbinders Ale House.

"The Angel and Greyhound once had a sign up outside saying 'we are the only pub Inspector Morse never visited."
Chris Sullivan runs the Morse, Lewis and Endeavour website and has listed all the pubs which appear in episodes of the three series.
In Endeavour the young Morse has to take a break from Oxford because of a problem with alcohol.
The final episode of the last series of Endeavour was screened in March.
