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. |
