Reading Bridge

Reading Bridge

Reading Bridge was built in 1923 to join Reading with lower Caversham. Previously, there was no bridge at this point, and the nearest crossing was at Caversham Bridge, about half-a-mile upstream. An interesting assortment of craft can usually be seen moored near Reading Bridge

The Dreadnought and Dreadnought Reach, Reading

The Dreadnought and Dreadnought Reach, Reading

This section of the River Thames is known as Dreadnought Reach, taking its name from the old pub called 'The Dreadnought' seen at the right of the picture. Unfortunately for riverside walkers 'The Dreadnought' ceased trading as a pub many years ago and is now used by Reading University as a rowing centre.

Jackson's Department Store, Reading

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. All receipts are hand-written and your money whizzes off down a pneumatic tube to a central cash point from where your change magically returns. Unfortunately, time has passed by and this real life 'Grace Brothers' is in danger of closure.
