John Bean of Bourton

The late John Bean of Bourton had a great love of life and was always keen to help out his local community. Two years ago he visited the Heritage Centre at Shrivenham and shared some of his past with us. From 1957 to 1978 he ran a successful Fruit and Veg round that covered the areas of Kingsdown, Meadowcroft, Queensfield and Haydon View. What makes this interesting is that his first form of transport was a trusty horse & cart. John passed away on the 12th January 2022 and this listing is a tribute to him.
