The pitched roofs, so typical of Abingdon’s past, are soon to be joined by the flat roofs of the new flats planned for the Old Gaol development.
Those buildings added in the 1970s, shown here on this Google Maps Image, are gone, and the ground has been cleared.
The Old Gaol now stands like a castle in a large sandpit.
I would guess that the developers are hoping there are no significant finds, and the Abingdon Archaelogical and Historical Society would hope for the opposite.
