Looking for book on Abingdon

Hi all,

I am trying to find a copy of "An Illustrated History of the Abingdon Branch" published by Wild Swan in 1985 or so. Would anyone have a direction to point me in? I have been doing searches, but so far have been unable to find a copy.

Thanks for your help!

Michael

in the town the book shop does every now and then books on other towns near by.

Thanks for the pointer, I will give it a look. Unfortunately I am sure I won't be able to make your club's show as I live in the US. Again, thanks for the pointer!

Seems to be like hens teeth at present, best to put in a request with some of the specialist second hand dealers.

This one seems more readily available but of course you may already have it:

Mitchell, Vic and Smith, Keith Didcot to Banbury including the Abingdon and Blenheim & Woodstock branches Midhurst, West Sussex Middleton Press, first edition February 2003, Western Main Lines Series Contained in glazed boards are 96 printed pages of text, maps, 120 black and white photographs and numerous other illustrations. The route carries London, Midland, South Coast and local services, together with a variety of freight trains. These are illustrated throughout the ages, together with the two closed branches and several charming intermediate stations A fine hardback copy Price: 10.00 GBP
