More about this scene

This picturesque Cotswold town in Oxfordshire lies on the slope of a steep hill above the Windrush valley about 20 miles east of Cheltenham. In the broad High Street old inns, houses, small shops and buildings in honey-coloured local stone jostle in a medley of complementary styles. Beyond the war memorial in this view we glimpse the spire of the church of St John the Baptist, where during the Civil War some 340 troops from the Parliamentarian army were held prisoner.

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
