Didcot's location between Reading and Oxford brought the army to town during the First World War and some of the current housing stock was built to accommodate the military and support staff. There are people, today, who remember when Didcot was a Berkshire village, but in 1974 the county boundary changed and Didcot residents found they were in Oxfordshire. Six giant power-station cooling towers emitting great white clouds of steam are Didcot's most famous landmarks, in what is now one of three major housing-development growth areas. House prices in Didcot offer good value and are lower than neighbouring Wallingford and Abingdon.
