BENT, Buckley (1864-1933) - Early Colour Photographer
Buckley Bent (1864-1933) lived at The Parks, Aldington at the beginning of the 20th century. He was one of the very early users of colour photography. His pictures were taken on 4 by 4 inch glass plates and have all the richness and quality of modern colour slides.
Tuesday 18 June 1946 - Boy of 13 fined for driving tractor on road
BOY OF 13 FINED FOR DRIVING TRACTOR ON ROAD
A 13-year-old boy with mechanical aptitude, who was stated to have done a considerable amount of tractor ploughing on his father's land and also to have ploughed about 20 acres of land for his schoolmaster, appeared at Evesham County Petty Sessions on Monday for driving a tractor on the highway, and for driving uninsured.
Wickhamford Lane
How did the road get its name?
Wickhamford Lane is so-named as it is a track leading from the A44 in Evesham to Wickhamford. It is included here as, although it is listed under the parish of Bengeworth in Evesham, it ends in Wickhamford.
Murcot Turn
How did the road get its name?
Murcot Turn is so-called because it is the road leading from the A44 to the hamlet of Murcot in the parish of Childswickham. The parish boundary runs down the centre of the road; houses to the north are in the parish of Wickhamford and houses to the south are in the parish of Childswickham.
Kingshurst Gardens
How did the road get its name?
Kingshurst Gardens is so-called because it is named after the King family who owned the land for many years.
Flower Show
The morning of Saturday 22nd July dawned bright and clear, but as the morning progressed, dark clouds threatened and, an hour before the Flower Show was due to start, the heavens opened. By the time the 115th Show opened at 1 pm the rain had stopped and people were able to enjoy the exhibits for an hour or two before the rain began again. As well as The Badsey Society stand, this included a display of gravity-defying BMX riding, the Spa Strummers Ukulele Group and St Andrew’s Pipe Band.
