Most of the new homes in Abbey Fields have been built on the left side of the footpath going towards Sunningwell. Now, homes are being built on the right side too. The development has started away from Dunmore Road, and the entrance is between Alexander Close and Boulter Drive.
Some people have already moved into Braggs Lane. The Braggs cycle shop at 2 High Street is well remembered (now The Dogs Spot).
Other people are living in Gowering Way (without an s).
Gowerings the car dealership was at 111 Ock Street (now Albert Lodge retirement homes).
P.S. Chris has sent this picture to show an alternative spelling
Think the spelling of Gowerings is incorrect, thought it was Gowrings despite the advert
I certainly remembered it as Gowrings and there is still a Ford dealership by that name in Newbury.
According to Companies House it was incorporated as Gowrings (Abingdon) Ltd on 2nd November 1966
It would appear to be a gLowering mistake.
We have Bailey and Baileys Crecent at the entrance, and now Gowrings spelt incorrectly!
Looks like they relied on an old advert with a spelling mistake in. https://abingdonblog.co.uk/?p=17187
