More Abingdon Developments


At Abingdon School, at the junction of Bath Street and Faringdon Road, the sports hall is being expanded.

Next to the Fitzharries Public House, the old ambulance station is soon to be replaced by housing.

A new housing development called Northcourt Square is taking shape near Dunmore School.

Saxton Road


This is the top end of Saxton Road – the end of the Homezone with a 20 MPH speed limit.

This front garden can be found along Saxton Road. Not all the gardens are so pretty.

This is the river end of Saxton Road, where a large boat is being refitted. It has been there for quite a while.

Behind it can be seen a Salters Steamer making its way to Wallingford. This service runs four days a week during the summer.

Rugby World Cup


England play South Africa tonight. The Cross Keys have both the flags, and a few more beside. It hasn’t been the best of starts for champions England (what with injuries and a none too convincing win against the USA in the first group match), so hopes are not high for the game against the Boks.
