PCP stands for Peachcroft Posse. The artwork was done as a summer project three years ago in the basketball court near the Peachcroft Centre.

Peachcroft is an extensive housing estate on the northern edge of Abingdon near to Peachcroft Farm, and built from the 1970s.

Here is the well publicised youth shelter. Today was its last day, and it is not to be seen there anymore. It was set up near the basketball court as a place where young people could hang out, but hanging out in numbers has sometimes led to problems. And today it has been taken away.

There are two books out about Abingdon this month.

The one pictured here, at the museum shop is called “Pride of Place”. It is a history of the Abingdon County Hall written by Peter Gale who works at the museum.

This second book “Cameos of Abingdon” is in the window of the Book Store in the precinct. It has many contributors.

Football does bring us together probably more than anything.

The town went eerily quiet from 4 until 5 45 PM while the football was on.

After the game tooting horns were to be heard. The picture is taken of the Cross Keys down Ock Street.

This Saturday morning there have been traffic problems due to roadworks. Here is the tailback along the High Street.

A section of road, in front of The House of Spice and of Gia’s, the new sandwhich bar and internet cafe, had been dug up and was being resurfaced. It was very dusty as one machine scoured the concrete below the surface. This roller is compacting the new tarmac.

Here the tarmac is being poured into a trench.

Round the corner between Stratton Way and the Vineyard, the new pavement is being built, and this caused a second hold-up.
