This week, and next, Abingdon’s history societies have taken over the community shop. Most of the displays are done by the multi-talented Abingdon Area Archaeological and History Society (AAaHS).
There are also some displays by the Friends of Abingdon, and an unnamed group of us who organise Heritage Open Day.
But the biggest draw has to be the large aerial photographs of Abingdon in days gone by. It is amazing the details people remember looking down on the route they once took to school. It makes history come alive.
Great to see these empty shops being used for community use.
Well done to whoever thought of it and especially to those who have given up their spare time to do it.
Does anyone know the date Stratton way opened?
