Stevens Boat Yard And Tea Gardens

A Memory of Abingdon-on-Thames.

My Great Grand parents owned Stevens Boat Yard and tea gardens at that time. I can't see if the name Stevens is clear on the building at the front of the point of the island but that is what its says. The people in the skiff may also be them I can't see well enough in this small photo. My Great Grand parents were John Richard Stevens (1867 - 1934) and Mary Ann Stevens (1867- 1947) and John's father, Richard, owned the boat yard before him.

My Uncle was Frank Stevens, his mother was Ma Stevens and ran the Tea Gardens and her husband (I do bot remember his name) about 19401950. I remember she was very deaf and you had to speak into a big horn. I think Mary Stevens was her daughter
