See what businesses there used to be
in Faringdon.
The first two columns are the current
address, and the third will show you what
businesses there once were at
that address.
This has been put together from the
memories of 3 Faringdon residents, and we've
almost certainly missed some
out and may also have got some wrong!
Please do
email us with anything you
can add,
and better still tell us if you have any photographs that we could
include. |
