EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in Abingdon's history as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II pays a visit on 2nd November 1956. The monarch, dressed elegantly in a coat and hat, is gracefully followed by the Mayor of Abingdon as they make their way out of Abingdon Railway Station. The scene is set against a backdrop of crisp autumn leaves and several smartly-uniformed military personnel, adding an air of regal pomp and ceremony to the occasion. The 1950s were a time of great change for the United Kingdom, and the Queen's visit to Abingdon was a significant event for the town and its residents. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the enduring appeal of the British monarchy. Abingdon, a picturesque town in Oxfordshire, was an ideal location for the Queen's visit, with its rich history and stunning architecture. The railway station, which still stands today, played a crucial role in the town's development and was a fitting setting for this royal occasion. The photograph is a testament to the close relationship between the monarchy and the people of Abingdon, and serves as a reminder of the town's proud history and traditions. It is a treasure trove of nostalgia for those who lived through the 1950s and an intriguing glimpse into a bygone era for future generations.
