Old Ambulance Station


The old ambulance station, is located next to The Fitzharrys Arms off the Wootton Road. It is just to the left of the yellow canopy. It is another part of the town that will disappear in the near future. There is a For Sale for development sign outside.

The Chief Ambulance Officer has long since gone. The building stopped being used for ambulances two or three years ago, when Didcot bacame the ambulance base for the area. The last few operational staff then moved to Didcot.

When in operation, ambulances lay over at strategic locations
in order to cover the area, and unlike fire engines do not stay at the station.

This one is opposite from MacDonalds down Colwell Drive.
