  • BCA - 2022.3604
  • Series
  • 1999

The Trout part way along the road from Bampton to Buckland is a very popular eating place. It is on the Thames and many fishermen and women have the right to have a rod there and they go to the pub, eat and fish. A cycle path would have been a wonderful addition to safe riding and these pictures are taken from scanned black and white negatives.

Riders included:

  • Jo Lewington
  • Dr Matthew Perry & wife Carole
  • Freda Bradley
  • Bishop Paul Burroughs

Bampton and Brize Norton Railway station seen in the 1960s

Bampton and Brize Norton Railway station seen in the 1960s. Sadly the station and the Witney to Fairford line closed as part of the Beaching cuts in the early 1960s. Strictly speaking, the station is just outside Bampton and in Brize Norton and it was a good 40-minute walk from Bampton. Several Bampton people ran a taxi service, in the early days by horse and carriage.
