Fully illustrated description of Abergavenny’s well known, and lesser known, places that have been lost over the years.
Over time towns and cities evolve and adapt to new technologies and trends. Much of the Monmouthshire town of Abergavenny has changed over the years and in Lost Abergavenny we revisit old streets that no longer stand; schools that are now silent; railway tracks that no longer rattle with trains; the military heritage of its castle, barracks and army camp; shops and businesses that once defined the town; sporting clubs and teams who have played their last; and institutions, events and characters unique to the town.
Filled with a treasure trove of pictures and charming anecdotes of times gone by, Lost Abergavenny presents a portrait of this corner of Wales over the last century to recent decades that has radically changed or disappeared today, showing not only industries and buildings that have gone but also people and street scenes, many popular places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating history of lost Abergavenny will appeal to all those who live in the area or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
