There Are Still No Yellow Lines In Brook Street!!

A Memory of Bampton.

Hello, My name is Graham Matthews and I was 7 years old when this photo was taken. I was born in Bampton but my family moved to Reading, Berkshire in 1961. However, I always thought of this lovely small town as my 'roots', and still enjoy visiting as often as possible. I, along with my brother Neville, went to both schools, sang in St Michaels Church Choir, and joined the Scouts and Cubs.
My Mother, Grace and my Dad Johnnie, reformed these groups. in the late 1950's. We held our meetings in an old Army Nissen Hut from WW2, which we dismantled in Tiverton, put it on a friends Lorry, and erected it in in the corner of the Recreation field in Bampton. Happy Days!
