Mystery remains over the future of a town centre pub more than six months after it was closed down.
The Chiltern Taps in Oxford Road has sat empty and boarded up since it was shut in March this year.
The owner of the building at the time, RedCat Pubs entered administration on March 28 with several of the company's UK sites quickly being axed.
But more than half a year later, the building remains closed off with its windows boarded up and no plans announced for what's next.

A spokesperson for RedCat Pubs said: "The Chiltern Tap was exited from the RedCat Pub Company portfolio earlier this year and is now in the hands of the administrators, Interpath Advisory."
A notice at the front of the building adds that Nicholas Holloway and Stephen John Absolom have been appointed administrators to manage the company's "affairs, business and property".
The closure was put down to low revenue following a slow recovery from lockdowns during the pandemic which was then exasperated by the cost-of-living crisis.
In proposals put forward by the administrators earlier this year, it said: "We anticipate that the most likely exit route for the administration will be the dissolution of the Company.
"On appointment, we immediately closed five sites which were heavily loss-making in Fulham, High Wycombe, Weybridge, Tonbridge and West Kensington.
"We engaged specialist agents, Licensed Solution Limited to attend the affected sites together with Interpath staff and undertake the closure process including the disposal of perishable stock and removal of beverage stock from the premises for the purposes of protecting public health.
"Arrangements were made to transfer the beverage stock to a designated central warehouse.
"Following advice from our agents, all sites have been boarded up to minimise the risk of break-ins."

Administrators added that they plan to continue trading parts of the company's business in the short-term whilst selling off assets to achieve results for the company's creditors.
The closure was met by sadness from residents with one saying it is "so sad to pass it all boarded up. I'm getting more worried by the day."
The Bucks Free Press has approached Interpath Advisory for more information on the company's plans for the site.
