‘Images of Old Oxton’ shows a series of historical photographs of the area, as well as some historical documents, which have been collected by the Oxton Society History Group. Many are postcards that are difficult to date precisely, though we know that the sending of postcards was very popular in late Victorian and Edwardian times, when many of them will have been produced.
