Demolition work continues on the Old Gaol – clearing all the out houses and bringing the building back to its core.

New views appear as walls and buildings are cleared away. This view is from Nag’s Head Island to the County Hall. The view will be hidden again when new residential buildings are put in place of the old.

The view to the Old Gaol from the river is also being cleared of some vegetation.

Eventually it will look something like the architectural model.

I hope to be joining him so if you see me round town I’ll be glad of some sponsors.

The caterpillars were causing too many unsightly problems.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the new High Street pavement had been a job well done.

Wouldn’t it be nice if ticket machines gave refunds.
Wouldn’t it be nice if … ?
I will miss Abingdon very much
