THE COUNCIL: It's 1919 and the "photo-opportunity" has become a part of Abingdon political life! The film camera took a slow panning shot across Roysse Court where the Council had mustered before joining the ceremonies in the town centre. Stills from the film have been brought together into a composite picture to allow us to view the whole team, which included senior post-holders such as the Town Clerk and the Chief Engineer as well as elected Councillors. We can cross-refer to other evidence to identify many of them.

Abingdon Heritage Weekend is an event managed by Friends of Abingdon Civic Society, working closely with the Abingdon and Area Archeological and Historical Society, and is run by a committee of volunteers. We aim to hold a heritage event every year in September, and the scale and scope of the event varies depending on the year and the budget. If you would like to become an organising volunteer please register your details here and we will contact you in late September/early October so that you can join in the planning for the next heritage event in 2026.
