Gallery of Old Photos of Abingdon (Part 1)
Ever since the birth of photography, local people have been using the camera to record a wide range of street scenes, important events and interesting buildings in Abingdon. Fortunately, Abingdon archivists, down the years, have kept these historical gems in good condition, and now a project is in place to digitise all the photographs. Take a look and see how much the town has changed and how much has remained recognisable.
