Bury Street Revival

Revival
There have been some changes in Bury Street in the last week. Peacocks are hiring staff now for an Abingdon Store.
Revival
It is where the Somerfield / Co-op used to be. The shop will sell value womens fashion, menswear and childrens clothing. This means children’s clothes will be on sale in the town centre for the first time in a few years.
Revival
Over the road, Lloyds Pharmacy are turning into Jhoots Pharmacy and are also hiring staff.
Revival
Bury Street is filling up, and doing better than at any time in the last ten years. One kiosk, and two empty shops remain to be let – and one of those is The Community Freespace – which may not bring in money to the landlord, but does bring goodwill.

    Still way way short of the complete refurbishment we were promised that the charter was getting…. Hang your heads in shame Aberdeen Angus Management/Scottish Widows…and also the Vale councillors who let them off the hook for it!

    I chose to travel to Witney today to go shopping. Abingdon is my home town but there’s nothing attractive about shopping there unfortunately.
    I wanted children’s clothes that weren’t high end but not really cheap and I spent some money on leather boots and some trousers.
    The parking was great too!

    Peacocks sell good children’s clothes and thankfully socks and underwear too which has been missing from Abingdon since Adams closed then Woolworths.

    Peacocks also sell great t-shirts in colours other than black that fit me perfectly!
