Poundland
The lights are on where Woolworths once was. Poundland Abingdon will be opening on Thursday 18th November 2010. The official opening will be two days later on Saturday 20th November when a mystery celebrity will cut the ribbon at 10am.

At the same time Poundland Glasgow, Holyhead and Chesterfield also have offical openings with a different mystery celebrity. That makes 4 Poundland opening on Saturday week, and 2 this coming Saturday where the mystery celebrities have just been revealed… Tracey Barlow from Coronation Street is opening Camberley, and Kirk Sutherland from Coronation Street is opening Droylsden.

Who would you like to see opening the new Poundland in Abingdon?

The pyrotechnics were organised – as every year – by the scouts and to be seen at the back of Long Furlong Community Centre in north Abingdon. They celebrate the failed gunpowder plot of 5 November 1605 – when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the houses of parliament.
