Hi Jill & Hubert, Jill I assume you live in Banbury -- or have done - nice to find another 'native' on list:>) As you say Jill - 'West Street' is within 'Grimsbury area' of the town. Which used to be a seperate hamlet & came under N'hants until 1889. These days Grimsbury has been absorbed as 'an area of town' - just a stroll over the width of the railway bridge. 'West bar' is t'other side of the town/High St/Cross -- leading onto Broughton rd/Woodgreen avenue/Bear garden Rd/Bath Rd etc. (as locals now know it ;>) 'West Bar' was once 'West Bar Street' - this causes confusion. --- Another mail tomorrow all - I must go eat - hubby's cooked!!!!!!!!! Angela:>) co admin Banbury > I am not sure about in 1881, but WEST STREET is in GRIMSBURY (a sort of suburb but really part of Banbury) NEITHROP is another but the other side of BANBURY, and WEST BAR is in the town proper and not near WEST STREET.. If he had a butcher shop it is more likely but not necessarily it was in WEST BAR. > In Banbury there is WEST BAR, SOUTH BAR and NORTH BAR, not bars but areas that are in the town centre.

Hi Angela, Yes I am a native Banburian through and through, was born there and lived there in Grimsbury,( Cheney Road), until I was 24. My grandparents at one time lived in West Street Grimsbury. I didn't know that Grimsbury used to be in N'hants, interesting. I moved to the States in '68, New Hampshire. Love you know ! He swept me off my feet ! I am still very English though. I love this site, it is so interesting, congrats to all who make it so, Jill.
