A new exhibition has opened at the Freespace (opposite Samuel’s). It was open today and will run from Monday 5th to Saturday until 10th September, 10:00am-4:00pm. It has pictures of Abingdon in the 1950s, and memorabilia from the 1950s, and brings back memories of younger days to some …

For others it gives a chance to see an Abingdon long before they were born.

The exhibition has been put together by Elizabeth Drury, who also curated the Abingdon in Victorian times exhibition last year, and Abingdon in WWI the year before. The exhibition is part of Abingdon’s Heritage Open Days programme.
