Oswald Couldrey Abingdon Artist

Oswald Couldrey (1882 - 1958)  Abingdon watercolours form an important documentary record of the town’s history showing detailed studies of Abingdonians going about their daily lives in the 1930’s and 40’s. Indeed he captures the essence of life in a small market town.

This site uses Oswald’s well known Pastel Paintings together with recent photographs to demonstrate these changes.
