Historic Interest

'As you move along the Old Oxford Road, the older solid built houses before King Street were for the managers of the Furniture Works – one was occupied by the Works Manager Bill Turner and one by George ‘Brusher’ Lee who the flats in King Street were named after as he was a local councillor and in my youth ran the Sunday School at the local Methodist Church. The bungalow next to North’s house was built for George Lee’s daughter and her husband Horace Ing' (Brian Robertson, Piddington and Wheeler End Parish website)
