A steady stream of people crossed Abingdon Bridge this Easter Bank Holiday.
The hire boats were flying out.
Dushan, the Landlord of the Nags Head pub, enjoys the sunshine.
Sunshine is good for business, particularly on a bank holiday Monday.
Thanks to Iain for pictures of the Prime Minister’s visit to Abingdon yesterday
David Cameron came, in his big blue bus, to show support for Nicola Blackwood, the Conservative candidate, in Abingdon.
Just over a month until the elections and there is everything to play for nationally and in the Oxford West and Abingdon constituency.
Sally Copley, the labour candidate, was also out campaigning in the Bury Street Shopping Centre yesterday.
Sally said she is taking part in about 19 hustings before the election. There will be lots of chances to hear from her and the other candidates – including at the Abingdon Church Hustings on April 15th in the Guildhall.
Thanks to Elizabeth for noticing this one…
There were trees in Roysse Court last week.
They are gone this weekend – part of the town council tidying up the area to give it a new look.
Next to go is likely to be the fountain installed by the Cowley Concrete Company. The company manufactured concrete-framed buildings, bridge sections, bricks and even fountains, and traded in Abingdon from the 1920s to the 1960s.
This morning worshippers and clergy from various Abingdon churches followed a cross down the precinct to mark Good Friday, one of the most important days in the Christian Calendar – the day when Jesus had to carry his own cross and to be crucified.
There was a minute or two of solemn silence on the Market Place before the parade followed the cross to St Nicolas Church for a service or hymns, prayers, and reflections.
