Peachcroft Youth Shelter


PCP stands for Peachcroft Posse. The artwork was done as a summer project three years ago in the basketball court near the Peachcroft Centre.

Peachcroft is an extensive housing estate on the northern edge of Abingdon near to Peachcroft Farm, and built from the 1970s.

Here is the well publicised youth shelter. Today was its last day, and it is not to be seen there anymore. It was set up near the basketball court as a place where young people could hang out, but hanging out in numbers has sometimes led to problems. And today it has been taken away.
