It was a surprise to see, this evening, that there is a Closing Down Sale at The Shoe Shop of Abingdon. This independent shop sells quality shoes and handbags, and there has been a shoe shop on that site for many years.
The shop unit in Bury Street between Card Factory and Holland and Barrett is being worked upon, as though somebody is about to move in.
There is also work underway at Coxeter House now that Abode have moved out.
The unit will be a Boots Opticians
The unit is going to be a boots opticians i rrember seeing the plans through the window once
Another opticians! There are already five in town plus Tesco…
Can’t say I’ve noticed them myself!
Oh no, not the shoe shop going. That’s such a shame.
I buy all my shoes and boots there, it’s the only shop gusranteed to cater for my horribly wide feet.
I had shoes from the ‘ Shoe Shop’ in the early 60’s. So well done to them for lasting so long.
Spike, were you waiting for someone to say you obviously need glasses 🙂
That is a real shame, their shoes were good and I would rather buy shoes than glasses any day
How sad to see an independent shop closing.
