Halloween on Blacklands Way


Blacklands Way, in Abingdon Business Park – normally a private road of offices and warehouses – has become an unexpected hotspot of Halloween activity.

Despite the KEEP OUT sign at the entrance, I ventured in.

The grass verges have turned into a dance space for some plastic skeletons.

By the duck ponds, somebody has crash-landed into the hedge.

Chalked blackboard gravestones have puns like “Dee Composing” and “NOAH SCAPE”.

It’s all intended in good humour, though last year when a similar – if smaller – display appeared, someone complained about it on FixMyStreet. Not everybody likes Halloween.
