On Heritage Day (Sat 11th September this year) we usually try to organise a competition. Two years ago there was ‘find an unusual object in shop window’. Last year it was a quiz. This year it is ‘Shops – Past and Present’.
These pictures of the Chinese Kitchen – Past and Present, come from The Judy Thomas and Elizabeth Drury book Abingdon – Past and Present. The pictures show the building as it was in 1895 – as the Rising Sun Inn, and the pagoda like replacement that must have shocked people when it first appeared, but which now makes a perfect setting for the Chinese Kitchen.
The competition will be to find as many past and present shops as you can and say what they once were and are now.
If only Chinese Kitchen paid as much attention to the present and in particular food hygiene they might get more than one star in the Scores on the Doors scheme;

The food was cold when it arrived and the 1/2 of crispy duck that cost £14 or so pounds had only enough meat for 2 and 1/2 pancakes.
When I rang to complain I got a load of abuse and double talk from the woman who answered the phone.
Avoid at all cost not a good service or product.
Disappointing and frustrating.
Will not be using them again.
