Dear Sir,

I think the lower picture on page 88 of your September issue of The Four Shires was at the bottom of North Bar near the junction with Castle Street. The building was sandwiched between a pub at the lower end and another building at the top end that housed the Norman Tyre Company. There were petrol pumps in front of their building for selling Regent, later to become Texaco fuels.

The whole area was demolished to enable Castle Street to be widened and I think part of the site was occupied by a DIY store first, which is now a bingo hall!

Yours Graham Townsend, Great Bourton near Banbury.
