More about this scene

Here in the right foreground we see the Tolsey building raised on columns, with its broad clock projecting from the gable. In past times, the Tolsey was the centre of local administration, and taxes were paid here. Adding to the charm of this peaceful scene is the avenue of pollarded limes on the verges higher up the hill.

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
