Just saw this when you went over Caversham Bridge past the old Viking Cafe as was and near my old school EP Collier York Road. Lots of changes in the town since I was at school in 1966 to 1971 and living in Kidmore Road with mum and dad. Fondly remember my 1st job at Wolfe and Hollander furniture shop and riding my Honda CB250 (ELP991J). First drinks in the Bull pub and the Star both long gone I imagine. I left Reading in 1972 for a job in the Midlands and have only been back twice in 50 years....nice to see how the old place has changed....
So much wanton destruction of beautiful timber frame buildings. “Todays vibrant dynamic townscape “ - you can jolly well keep it. The lightly populated largely single culture Reading of the 1950’s and 1960’s a relative delight compared to the cheap shoddy ugly structures that deminish Reading today.
Ah my hometown. Love you reading

Glad you enjoyed the video!
This was my childhood🥺
Good video but a lot of it is you sitting in traffic. Pick a different time of the day to record. Great effort!
Good idea! Maybe il head back into reading sometime soon then
You passed my house lol

Everyone should stay far away from this cesspool of a traffic jam town
