60-64 West St Helen Street was listed in 1971, meaning it was of interest architecturally or historically. See the entry https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1200046?section=official-list-entry.
It was demolished in 1979. Steve, who grew up there, gave me a photograph of the demolition. I live in a part of the new build.
I found a photograph of the building before demolition, taken from a larger photograph in Abingdon Past and Present by Elizabeth Drury and Judy Thomas (All Rights Reserved).
The listed building is described as: One building. Early C19. Rendered. Tile roof. Plinth. Three storeys. Three windows, moulded flush frames, double hung sashes with glazing bars, panel with tabs supports a cornice. The centre window on the first floor and ground floor has tabs missing and the window to the right on the ground floor is irregularly placed and has no panel. Two cellar openings, flat arches. Doorway to Nos 60 and 62 is one composition, with three carved pilasters and a flat hood on brackets. Doorway to No. 64 is similar, but set lower..
In the 1930s/1940s my great grandparents Thomas and Annie COX (nee WEBB) lived at 62.
What is odd is the listing entry on Historic England, makes no mention that the property has been demolished.
This does not surprise me. Historic England having out of date information merely mirrors some of its bureaucrats having out of date ideas, as they did when they blocked the lift to the museum in 2010, and thereby shutout many of our residents from being able to get in to the building in the process . Let’s hope that if the town council’s latest plan for a lift goes forward they take access and equalities issues more seriously.
