The transformation of Suffolk Way in Abingdon


The open day and market at Loose Cannon brewery was a chance to look around the brewery and to see some well-known Abingdon market stalls inside a brewery.

Busby’s Bees took a swarm of bees, honey, and beeswax into the brewery.

Martin, of Devine Times Photography, had a selection of photographic prints and calendars.

Abingdon Gin and another dozen stalls were also there.

Suffolk Way, off the Drayton Road, once comprised eight anonymous industrial/warehouse units made of brick and metal cladding. Now the units have opened up to the world and lots of local people visit.

There is also the Kathleen Turner charity shop

and the Oxford Wood Recycling with ideas for wood and recycled wood for sale.

The carpenters of Oxford Wood Recycling have recently transformed Broad Street in Oxford into an area of raised beds with wildflowers, and grass with lots of wood seating – a good place to relax during a trip to Oxford.

      Agreed…however they are ever so fussy with what every 7th Wednesday as long as the dates an odd number and your bags are left handed with only items begining with S in them… But always able to spend a few pounds in there.

      The very best charity shop in Abingdon is Acacia on Bath Street…. Positively happy people always grateful for anything you can bring!

    Saw Abingdon Gin at the Foodies festival in Oxford on Sunday and mentioned the Ab Blog, they had not heard of it! So expect their Rep their has updated them now ! They are looking for a small unit to move to, if anyone knows of vacant units in the town?
