More about this scene

The duck pond, a typical feature of many Oxfordshire villages, has changed very little since this photograph was taken. The pond looks tidier today, and in 2000 a new village sign was erected near the pond. The house on the left still maintains its ivy foliage.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Does anyone remember the racing stables in Childrey? We lived there for a short while. I cannot remember the name of the road or much about the place except I believe that someone committed suicide in the bathroom we had, spooky memories, but I also remember going to school in Wantage and riding my bike to the local outdoor swimming baths, no wonder I am still not a keen swimmer. Any information I would be glad to receive, thank you. Jean
