No. 11

The 1921 census shows James Parker (64), an out-of-work bricklayer who worked for Wooldridge & Simpson, living here with his wife Ada (51) and his daughter Sylvia (22), who was a tailoress for Hookham & Co in Cornmarket, Oxford and his son Edward (19), who was a general labourer.

James Parker remained here until his death at the age of 82 near the end of 1939. His son Edward James Parker is listed here until his death at the age of 49 in 1951, and then Miss Parker (presumably James Parker's daughter Sylvia) lived here until at least 1976,
