The Banbury Cake was a free, weekly, newspaper published by Newsquest Oxfordshire, Oxford, England. It was distributed to houses in Banbury and the surrounding area, usually on a Thursday. It contained local news, sport, entertainment news, gossip; as well as job, car and other advertisements. It takes its name from Banbury cakes.
Current formation and future
[edit]In October 2017, The Oxford Times announced the cessation of the Banbury Cake after more than forty years of publication but would publish news via its website.[1] Banbury Cake now redirects to Oxford Mail.[2] The paper had distributed copies with a circulation of 53,000 in the 1980s. That figure dropped to a print distribution of just over 13,000 copies by 2013.[3]
