While ‘Abingdons Got talent’ was on, I went up on the museum roof to try to get some photos. None of them turned out that well, when I put them on the computer, but I did meet up with an interesting artist, on the museum roof, sketching East St Helen Street.
He said the light was good.
Here is one he did back in May of shadows stretching across East St Helen Street. He said the light had been good then too. There is more of his art on jaugar.net.
Thanks to Tata (The Abingdon Trolley Artist) for sending me this picture
The Trolleys were previously seen in the River Thames just beneath Margaret Brown Garden, in Abingdon. One ‘was falling to bits‘. The other ‘was still in good nick’ and ‘an easy push‘.
The new installation at the Tesco Carpark in Abingdon is “Margaret Brown’s Folly.”
I took this pictures during the short interlude as the Didcot Set was carried out and the Henley one carried in.
At the Unicorn Theatre this week there are a series of short plays and this evening Didcot Phoenix were followed by H.A.O.D.S (Henley-on-Thames Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society).
Meanwhile at Fat Face another scene change was taking place.
