The owner of Adderbury Stores impressed The Times writer

The village shop in Adderbury has been praised by a writer in the Times newspaper.

An article by Hilary Rose focused on village shops and said unless they survived half of the new houses Labour planned to build would be useless without a car.

Ms Rose then recounted her visit to Adderbury Stores, run by Deepa Bansal, which she described as “a place of wonder, housing the biggest collection of the most random objects in a space roughly the size of two Ford Fiestas”.

Shop owner Deepa was given what appeared to be an impossible challenge of whether she stocked flannels.

Much to Ms Rose’s amazement Deepa returned waving some of them and asking whether she wanted green, white or blue.

The article has been reproduced on the adderbury.org website.
