The Vale Council usually manages to get major builders to put some of their money into a local arts project to give a bit more character to the new housing area. In the case of  the Tanneries estate, off the Drayton Road, there is paving of ‘polished and sandblasted red and black granite‘  showing plants and animals found on the neighbouring Ock Valley walk.

It has been created by the artist Bhajan Hunjan with the help of children from the Unicorn School – Abingdon’s very own school for children with dylsexia.

The Unicorn School says on it’s website, in their section about art,  ‘Pablo Picasso was dyslexic!’
