More about this scene

The High Street runs down from the A40 to Burford Bridge and the River Windrush. The upper end is lined with pollarded lime trees. The town, once an important centre for the woollen trade, has many fine golden Cotswold stone buildings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, when many affluent wool merchants made their home here.

As an eight year old boy I lived at Long Wivets, the third house in this photo. We lived there in 1955 and 1956. My father was Lt. Andrew Dill and he was stationed at Brize Norton. That was a very nice time of my life and I enjoyed Burford very much. If anyone remembers me or another member of my family (Andy, Joyce and Nancy, Jacki, Matt, and Becky, I would enjoy hearing from you. Thank you, Matt Dill
