There have been some recent business changes in West St Helen Street.

The Udon Thai Market closed its doors earlier this month after 4 years of trading. The store was probably the only place to buy many Asian ingredients in Abingdon. Now, Abingdonians will have to venture to Oxford or London to get their hands on things like Galonggong, Pandan Leaves, and Indian Trumpet.

A flooring specialist with a long history in the area is moving to West St Helen Street, and has been working on the property. The business, established in 1976, was previously located in Kingston Bagpuize.

P.S. I sometimes don’t name businesses in the text of a blog post. This is to avoid search engines sending potential customers to the blog with comments like ‘Do you do parquet flooring?’
