Masons are celebrating 75 years as a family run business in Abingdon this year. The family bought the shop at 39 Stert Street in 1939 and initially sold children’s clothes, hosiery, and knitting wool.
That was joined by the shops at 20 Bath Street
and 22 Bath Street in about 1961.
The above adverts from the Abingdon Directory in 1960 and 1973 show that they have always been a shop you will enjoy visiting.
Masons now specialise in knitting wool and upholstery at 39 Stert Street, Fabrics and Haberdashery at 20 Bath Street, and crafts at 22 Bath Street. They also have a fourth shop window on the world wide web.
