A new coffee outlet has opened next to the Albert Park in Abingdon.
A spokesperson said: “The Conduit House outlet, which has created three new jobs, will allow for coffee enthusiasts to easily pick-up their favourite handcrafted coffee, such as the as the iconic Flat White featuring our signature Mocha-Italia blend, and then enjoy it in the park. “
The spokesman also said “The outlet will be a great benefit to the area. Parents waiting to pick up their children from Carswell School can now enjoy a coffee. Nearby churches are currently unable to serve coffee due to government Covid-19 restrictions, and so people will be able to pick up a coffee at the Conduit House outlet instead.”
However, not everybody is happy. One gentleman commented, “How on earth did they get permission to open this in a conservation area?”
The Conduit House coffee outlet will be operating a takeaway only service at first. Plans for a drive through outlet are being considered.
This is part of the City Daily Photo Theme Day for 1st April – for other entries see April theme day
Nice one, Backstreeter
Well done Alistair, brightened my day.
Unbelievable!!! I am fuming at this. Where was the planning application!?!?!! I’ve just decided to put my house up for sale after reading this. Goodbye Abingdon!!!
I feel a bit pinched and punched.
Is the old toilet in the trees still there too? If so the coffee shop will have some facilities too.
LOL! I met my wife in a Costa coffee outlet. A nicer one.
Three jobs was a nice touch .. very enjoyable post.
Paradise lost.
Very clever – well done! The ivy on the door gives it away though. If it were true I’m sure it would do a roaring trade. I would love to see the interior of the conduit house. I went into the one at North Hinksey on a Heritage Open Day and it was very interesting.
Hah!
A drive through would be . . . . . . interesting.
This has bean a long time coming, now my cup runneth over! Hope it won’t costalot. Ruth
