SCHOOLCHILDREN left their classes to visit a field study centre at Horley to learn about farming and traditional village crafts in 1976. In the first picture, Sharon Harvey, eight, and Anna Pinkerton, seven, take a close look at centipedes.
Banbury Stockyard was a busy place for the selling and buying of livestock for many years. Jim Watson, managing director of Midland Marts, with fellow workers Ian Smethurst and Gay Taylor, are seen at an auction in 1990.
Pupils at Banbury schools took part in 1968 in a homemaking course, which included child care, first aid, home management and budgeting, household repairs and decoration and visits to old people’s homes. Jane Garret and Diane Knight, both 14, chat to Lillian Osborne, 92.
