The first photo brought back memories of the 50/60's. Post office on the corner with Deykin Ave, run by Mr. and Mrs. Wragge. Hardware store, Mr. Tallis (later Mr.Jones). Fruit and Veg Mr.and Mrs. Goody. Barber Shop, Harold Weaver. There was also a Butcher and Newsagent.
I knew people in Thame Road, Joyce Bell who I still see from time to time. I also went out with David Littlemoore, his parents had a grocers shop. His pal Brian Baker lived on the opposite corner and his family had the cafe.
Lovely photo's, I guess the flood was in the early 50's when the Tame burst its bank.
Hi Shere, was the lad at the front of pictures 1 and 3 Harry. If so was he in the Boys Brigade. Sorry I cannot recall his surname. I lived at 68 Brantley Road. Regards George
I remember Brian Baker. He was good on the ivories (Piano) I remember. I have not seen him since I left Deykin Avenue school in 1951. Whatever happened to him ?., Regards George (Not my birth name)
