Bicester has changed considerably since the 1939-45 war. From a population of 3,000 in 1931 it has grown to around 24,000 residents. Between the two world wars a town joke was that you could fire a rifle down Sheep Street and not hit anyone. Nowadays most of the street has been pedestrianised and is regularly thronged with shoppers. This first book on The Changing Faces of Bicester recalls the shop-keepers in the town and the people who ran the shops and also some of the tradesmen and women. Other aspects of local life depicted are the Ordnance Depot, farming and entertainment. Peter barrington was chief reporter for the Bicester Advertiser for 20 years and now works on a freelance basis for the newspaper.
