It is almost 60 years since the Queen opened the restored County Hall in the popular Thameside resort of Abingdon, and unveiled a plaque to commemorate the event.
Back then Abingdon had a Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses. Nowadays there is a Mayor and Councillors.
On the eve of Her Majesty’s 90th birthday, three of Abingdon’s Charity Shops have 90th birthday displays:
Helen and Douglas House.
Cancer Research UK
and Sue Ryder.
There will be a lighting of the Beacon on the County Hall Roof – Thursday, 21 April 2016 – 8:30pm.
Well done to the Charity shops. The displays looked great and brightened up the town.
