Two photos possibly taken around the same time. Early WW2 period auxiliary fire service vehicles parading past the abbey gateway in the centre of Abingdon. At the same intersection, to the right of the gate, was the Hays and Son butcher shop, in a row of shops which was demolished for road widening post-war. Dating these is a bit problematic. Hays & Son apparently stopped trading before the war, the vehicles date to 1939-1941, but the street decorations suggest that this is VE Day. Draw your own conclusions.
