A lovely inter-war photograph of the Abingdon Arms on the corner of Abingdon Road West and Abingdon Villas. It would appear that the graceful building was once influenced by the much-despised window tax, a levy which was not repealed until 1851. The Abingdon is still trading today as a gastro-pub. Herbert Hayden was the licensee when this photograph was taken in the early-mid 1930's. His close competitor was the Kensington Arms on the other side of the road. Previous licensees of the Abingdon Arms include Henry Wilkin [1881], William Edward Griffiths [1891] and Reuben Howard Barbey [1901].
