HELP FROM LITTLETON & BADSEY
Mr Fred Bubb, the secretary of the Littleton & Badsey Growers Ltd, has received the following letter from Mr Impey:
Death of Mr A E Evans of Badsey
Mr Albert Edward Evans, 77, of Sand Lane, Badsey, member of a family which is well known in the Evesham district, died almost instantly when the private car in which we was a passenger was in collision with a lorry opposite Bengeworth Post Office, Port Street, early on Saturday afternoon. Mr Evans suffered head injuries, but it is thought that his death was due to shock.
Sale of property at Offenham and Badsey relating to the late Thomas Sheaf (1817-1865).
The property at Offenham was Sheaf House, where Thomas lived, but this was not sold, only the furniture, 400 gallons of cider, poultry and pigs. The items were sold on Wednesday 9th September 1868 on the first day of the sale.
SURRENDER OF GERMAN PRISONERS
Three young German prisoners who had escaped from Badsey Camp near Evesham, surrendered to the Witney Police on Friday, and were subsequently handed over to the Commandant of Badsey Camp.
VEGETABLES – A LINK BETWEEN FARM AND FACTORY
The preserving of vegetables is a comparatively new industry in this country, which will assist in preventing waste that frequently occurs during seasons when production is much in excess of immediate requirements.
ERECTION OF COTTAGES AT BADSEY
Evesham Rural District Council have decided to apply to the Local Government Board for sanction for loans amounting to £9,800 for the erection of 24 cottages at Badsey, and £5,750 for the erection of 16 cottages at South Littleton.
On 26th April 1948, the 1000th house built by Evesham Rural District Council was opened by C A Binyon, Chairman of the Council, at Horsebridge Avenue, Badsey. A booklet was produced to tell the story of council housing in Badsey. We are grateful to Edmund Gray, the great-nephew of C A Binyon, for allowing us to take a copy of the booklet.
