In Trinity Church Conduit Centre today, as a fund raiser for the Abingdon Passion Play 2019, there was an antique valuation afternoon, thanks to Bonhams.

I could not think of any valuable antiques that I might own, so instead took along my earliest and biggest postcard album, and was interested to hear more about some of the pictures.

Here is a postcard of Stert Street in Abingdon, posted in 1913.

In the foreground are The Bee Hive (Morland & Co Entire Fine Ales, with Good Accommodation for Cyclists – Teas Provided – Well Aird Beds) and over the road The Plough (Morrells Ales and Stouts), and behind that Ye Olde Printinge Workes.
