Oh God when was this taken?
I seem to recall in my distant memory of having the same view

I took this foto 1972, Roberts barracks, (Winkelhausen Kaserne), was named after a high ranking officer from WW1 called Von Winkelhausen and not after the pub, like many thought. It's now a student house, Pop's chip shop is a hairdressers,(which it was before him), and the Oxo is a shop.

Tom Kelly and I spent many a happy lunchtime in there. 4/5 pints of osnabruker and
Back over the fence Regards Jim Howe

Ah a bit before my time, I was there from 80 - 84
Never knew about the officer story but do remember having a few bevies in there whilst I was there
Pops chip shop.....Was that the one to the right of this photo? about 100m?
Don't remember Oxo's though, I can only think it was a shop when I was there
Cheers for that though mate
brings back some good memories
Loved his bratwurst und pommes frites mit mayo (!) after a night out

Good place to visit after the Squadron bar, before hitting the town. Pop's always visited on the way back, if it wasn't to late

Pop's is now a hair dressers, which it was before his chippy, the Winkel is now a student house and the Oxo is a shop, so now you can get your hanky out.

Remember it so well we used to jump the fence, so they greased the top of the fence

Our first 'MQ' was a room in the Winkle in 1970 - nothing else available for us newly wed, newly arrived, marrieds. Stayed a couple of weeks before moving on to lodge in at least 3 other MQs whose normal occupants were on leave or courses - house & dog sitting quite a bit. Eventually got a MQ up in Dodesheide. Great year in 25 as adjutant to Col Jock Brazier. Got back to Os ( 12 Sqn ) in 76 .
