Horace Morse collected the contents of the lavatory buckets which were put outside the houses on Wednesday. He had a horse drawn cart with a tank on the back and would then spread this on farmers' fields. He also collected the ashes and rubbish in a high sided square cart and emptied this in Gog Lane. Sewerage didn't came to Bampton until 1950's.
