Thanks to Sarah for this follow up to the post about the 1978 Abingdon Market Place Act …
“As promised, here is a somewhat poor picture of Fritzi’s hot dog van in the Market Square circa 1979.
It’s taken from a brochure which was produced for the opening of Miele in Abingdon. The full picture shows a Miele lorry in front of the County Hall. Behind the County Hall you can see a gap that is now filled by the Sue Ryder shop on East St. Helen Street.”
Miele are still here in Abingdon – employing many Abingdon people in 2015.
The weather forecast for the Market Place this Saturday predicts strong winds. The planned Christmas Craft Market has been postponed until next Saturday – 12th December 2015.
Re consultants….
…Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Brilliant.
For some reason I thought of Fritzi’s hot dog van and wondered if any photos of it existed.
I knew your blog would have one.
Are there any other images of the van in the 1980’s? What year did it finally drive away for good?
Cheers.
