When it was demolished, it was replaced with Thornberry Flats for people aged 55+.

This shows the site of the demolition of the Market Square Garage, which had been built on the site of one of Bampton's old pubs -The Lamb, often known as The Tree because of the large elm tree that stood beside the front door.

This building was originally Thompsons, a high class grocer, before becoming The Romany pub. It is now The Fleur de Lys, hotel and restaurant.
