Abingdon Country Market were on this morning in the safety of the Salvation Army hall.

Abbey Brass were on the Market Place in Abingdon playing carols, but the Christmas Craft Market was cancelled because the expected strong winds were dangerous for gazebos.

Near the Market Place, down the Queen Street alleyway, you can order Peachcroft Farm free range goose and turkey from Hedges the butcher. Hedges were established in 1896, and currently have branches in Abingdon and Oxford (was Covered Market but see comments). Their vans do a lot of delivering but you can order and buy direct from the door.

The Abingdon reared geese and turkeys are advertised widely on Abingdon bus stops. They are to be seen wandering freely at Peachcroft Farm up until the time they disappear in November.

Abingdon Bistro reopens

The Bistro re-opened last Saturday on Bath Street with new owners and bright sunny paint. They serve Portuguese food and coffee, and have rooms above for people to stay in. They also do English, Continental, and Brazilian breakfasts.
New business with mystery beneath

A new hair dressing salon called Wisteria Avenue opened last Saturday in Abingdon.

It is in the same premises that once housed Local Roots in East St Helen Street.
This is also the same premises that houses the little basement museum – a very interesting place to visit if you ever get the chance.
Abingdon Ebay Prices

This evening, on Ebay, the 1960 Abingdon Rural District Official Guide c. 1960 fetched £13.50 plus postage.

A few days ago a postcard of Abingdon Sanatorium went for £21.88 plus postage and one of Abingdon Warren Hospital went for £22.00 plus postage.

This is a detail from a postcard that has a few days to go on Ebay. It looks interesting and will probably cost a few pounds.

The Practical Motorist advertised at H. J. Polley, on the postcard, would have cost 3d back then but will cost £11.99 + postage now on Ebay.
