A fairly recent departure, but one i fondly remember and makes me feel old thinking about it - Mission. Circa 2001/2002 were glory days...

Trents - for those of us nearer 40.

God that brings back some memories.....

When I was a lad even though we lived near Witney we still went to a dentist in Old Town cos my dad had been going here since he was a lad.

It was always the bribe to get me to the dentis - a trip to the Railway Museum, a visit to Frode and Hext (or something like that) and then finally being allowed a walk round Trents!

Happy innocent days!

I remember that enclosed stairway in the Brunel (just outside McD's) it used to cut right across the walkway.

There are some good ones on here.  One thing I don't miss is having to queue for hours outside the cinema should you have the desire to watch a film on a Saturday within it's first couple of weeks of release.  Up round the back of Wimpey on occasion.  Watched Back to the Future twice in the same day because the man on the door pulled me in as the last person, leaving my mates stood outside.

Milk bar next to the cinema (was it the Empire or Granada up from the railway station?) - only taken there once. Standards of living are so different now. My kids are amazed that going out for a meal was a rarity back in the 60s and 70s.
