Very Buzzing and busy town.1974 we moved from North Berkshire so Oxfordshire and that was the decline for this once Buzy Town. It will all come back one day. I’m glad I see the 60/79:80/90 best time for Abingdon. On a Saturday you could not move for people .
Fascinating - some things like the buildings have hardly changed, but others (shop names, car designs, clothes fashions, hairstyles) are completely different.
Tescos absolutely decimated the heart and soul of Abingdon The town was absolutely thriving before Tesco’s came along and sucked the soul out of the town

Yes, traffic certainly had priority over pedestrians in those days. You could wait 5 minutes trying to cross the road
I see myself and friend bry right at the end of video I was walking backwards looking at something then turned round .I was 24 then
Is that the same bry that has a UA-cam channel “ The Ramblings of Bry”? I know that he grew up around that way
Aaaargh ... Mr. Fritzi!
