Retro: Paper memories of store
I CAN remember this scene from the day I first set eyes on Reading in the 1960s, shortly after arriving at Reading Station.
Retro: History down on the mystery farm
THIS attractive and accomplished watercolour has the words 'Cooper's Farm, Tilehurst,' written on the mount, and so far, I have been unable to find a Cooper's Farm on old maps of Tilehurst, or in directories.
Retro: Mystery postcard house - UPDATE
THIS week's picture is from a set of three postcards from the studio of H A Giles.
RECENTLY I was looking at the Reading local papers for 1950 in connection with a talk I was about to give, on the history of the motor trade in Reading.
Retro: The plane facts about rare tree
THIS 300-year-old print of Montague House was in a rather sorry state when I rescued it a few weeks ago.
