Abingdon, Bath Street c.1945

More about this scene
The building on the left curving into Bath Street from the Square, with its many gables and ornate shop fronts (now a Chinese restaurant), replaced the Rising Sun Inn, a three-storey timber-framed and jettied inn, formerly the Unicorn, then in the 1790s renamed the Sun. In 1894 it became a temperance hotel, but Abingdon was not ready for this, and it soon closed, and was demolished in 1900. Conveniently overlooking the sheep market, the inn had sheep pens in its rear yard.
