Mrs Roger from Brook House, Bridge Street
Mrs Rogers lived in Brook House on Bridge Street where she sold sweets and newspapers. Bampton is 18 miles from Oxford and 18 from Swindon and somehow, Mrs Brooks managed to get a sugar allowance during WWII from both Swindon and Oxford which enabled her to make and sell lots of sweets.
Brook House is the one on the left of the picture, across the road.
She is on the left in this picture with Mr and Mrs Albert Townsend from across the road at Castle View Farm. They are standing just inside the wall of the farm.

The lovely black and white photograph shows Mrs Clark in her shop doorway. The shop was in the High Street on the north side almost opposite Bovington's wet fish shop.

Comments by Local Residents/emplyees,
Steve Pearce said: - "Worked with Tom Papworth, Jack Day, ‘trickie’ Taylor, Val, Alan, Dave Taylor, Tina Foreshew, and Ben Neville was a lovely man helped me so much."
Joe Stephens said: - "I think Richard Todd left his car White Aston Martin in John Tayler's Showroom at one time."
Dave Taylor said- "Think that’s ‘trickie’ Taylor in pic; George used to be our foreman, spent years there before and after school and later years. Some wonderful memories, still go to solicitors which used to be our accessory shop when Ben Neville was there."
Rob Crew said: - "Great memories. Not just a garage, I used to get my fishing licence there."
