Jackson's Department Store, Reading Jackson's is a privately owned store and is an example of how shops must have been in the 1930's.

Unfortunately, time has passed by and this real life 'Grace Brothers' is in danger of closure. This picture appears in the following picture tours: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 50D |
