Classic cars including MGs were on display in the market place on Sunday.

The town's history was on show in the Roysse Room at the Guildhall while there was an exhibition about Abingdon's Lost Railways at Unit 24 at the precinct in Bury Street.

Model railway enthusiast Ivan Cadge was there to show off his model of the town's railway station, which closed to passengers in 1963.

The site where the station used to be is now occupied by Waitrose.

Properties throughout the town were opened up to the public, including St Ethelwold's House, Christ's Hospital Hall, and the Abbey Buildings.
