The changing face of Wallingford
10:00am Monday 8th March 2010 in
THE town’s day centre took delivery of a new television set and two armchairs in 1981, thanks to Wallingford Round Table. Rotarians and people who used the centre are pictured when the gifts were handed over.
Visitors welcomed the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway Preservation Society’s latest acquisition, a saddle-tank locomotive, in 1990. Driver David Goodenough, left, and fireman Bob Airey are seen with the new arrival, which was built in 1951 and had worked in the Scottish Highlands.
The third picture dates from 1980, when Wallingford Ladies Circle gave £100 towards the cost of a riding centre for disabled children.
