Abingdon Blog

Abingdon is probably the oldest town in Britain - continuously inhabited since the Iron Age. Abingdon is seven miles downstream from Oxford on the River Thames. The Abingdon Blog is a photo record of events and places in Abingdon - mostly every day.

Ock Mini Park


Back in 1982 it was intended as a Carpark.

But since then it has lost its way. It is the area of ground at the junction of Drayton Road and Marcham Road. There are bins, seats, gravel, some trees, and a view over the river Ock. The area has been cleared in the last month. There is a mound of earth where a tree grows.

It is not accessible by car, although cars whiz close by. It may be of some use for people who need a rest walking by on their way to the hospital, or coming back from Tesco with bags of shopping.

It is a place, going through a quiet spell, but just waiting to happen.
