Over time, towns and cities evolve and adapt to new technologies and trends. Much of the Monmouthshire town of Abergavenny has changed over the years and in Lost Abergavenny we revisit old streets which no longer stand, schools which are now silent, railway tracks which no longer rattle with trains, the military heritage of its castle, barracks and army camp, shops and businesses which once defined the town, sporting clubs and teams who have played their last, and institutions, events, and characters unique to the town. Filled with a treasure trove of pics and charming anecdotes of times gone by, Lost Abergavenny is a timely reminder in pictures and words of how life once was in this Welsh town.

Lost Abergavenny presents a portrait of this corner of the Wales over the last century to recent decades that has radically changed or disappeared today, showing not only industries and buildings that have gone but also people and street scenes, many popular places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating photographic history of lost Abergavenny will appeal to all those who live in the area or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
