Geo-Trips :: To the south Midlands

Southam

A drive from Aylesbury, Sun, 17 Oct 2021 by David Howard

Southam is not really on the way to anywhere, at least from London. The road from Banbury onwards was a green gap on my map, so a simple trip straight up the A41, which hardly anyone uses now since the M40 was extended, and turn off to Southam where I'd never been to before. It's a lot smaller than expected, and only took a few minutes from one end to the other, and then carried on to spend some time going around Banbury, where I'd only passed through before on the way to the Midlands, beginning with a very blurred photo of Banbury Cross from a coach window on a school trip to Stratford on Avon in 1969, but what was worse it also blurred a close shot of an Austin A40 and Cortina Mk1, one of very few photos I'd taken that early with cars in them. It must have been getting on to 50 more years before I went back and got a clear photo of it.
