Autumn Leaves while the sun shines


Leaves are turning colour. The creeper on Bath Street, which was cut back a few years ago, has grown back, with a full display of red leaves this year.

The Liquid Amber trees on the Market Place have also got their fiery red autumn colour.

The Liquid Amber Trees around the War Memorial were planted at about the same time but look bigger in the smaller space.

The London Planes on St Helen’s Wharf provide shade and shelter in the summer. But in autumn, their leaves turn a golden yellow.

Queen Victoria, in the Abbey Gardens, has a view over many trees. Their autumn colours look at their best when the sun shines.

    Great pictures, Backstreeter. It is now over 60 years since I left Abingdon and the town centre has changed hugely (though some are still the same, just with a different name). Can any of your older readers confirm whether the building with the red door, covered in red ivy, used to be Mr Hines’ Dental practice in the 50’s and 60’s?
