Pembrey's department store, High Street

  • BCA - 2023.6032

  • 2023

Pembrey's department store, High Street T W Pembrey was Bampton's first and only department store. It comprised the building facing across
Bushey Row (called New Inn Lane when this picture was taken), the thatched building now called
Strawberry Cottage, the building next door and the next one which is just out of the camera shot.
(The daughters grew up to run a school for ladies in the house called The Elms which is in Broad
Street by the turn up to New Road.) When this picture was taken, which was probably right at the
end of the 19th century, the Post Office was in the store. It moved from here to Wheelgate House in
the High Street in 1918 where it stayed until 1972. All the buildings seen on the left are now private
houses and the one across Bushey Row is (at 2014) Bampton Physiotherapy owned and run by Fiona
Farmer

Adrian Simmonds' collection of Old Photographs

  • BCA - 2024.7793
  • Item
  • 1900s?

Adrian Simmonds' collection of items donated by Carol Langley. Adrian had a shop in the Market Square.
Janet Newman thinks the date is more likely to be 1916. William (Bill) Lock's
building company were doing lots of building work in Bampton at that time.
Charlie Lay (1895) was a stone mason living at Mill Green. He was the father of
Alfred Lay and Walter Lay, both of whom died in WW1 and commemorated on
the War Memorial. He was father of Ted Lay who was married to Ruth Pocock,
sister of Harry Pocock. Fred Lay (1897) was also Charlie's son. Thomas Dipper
(1850) was a bricklayer and lived in Mill Street. The only one I'm not sure about
is H. Lock. William's brother Herbert had worked on the building with his brother
but emigrated to Canada, returning to Bampton to marry, Marjorie in 1918, only
to be killed at Aulnoy, in France a few months later. It's possible that H. Lock
could have been a relative of William (Bill
