Not exactly football pure and pure, but these photos surely shaped the lives of all at the club and the local population generally. The majority are from the sixties, and some just before that era. Photos are roughly in newest first, oldest last order – more or less! It's true I dedicate this to Suffolk, William & Hayes - their interest and knowledge of the town is without question, but it's equally interesting for anyone who takes a pride in what Reading used to be like, and where it has come from! daib0 Reading Broad Street – end of the 60s http://www.fotolibra.com/gallery/664140/broad-street-reading-england-1960s Reading Town Centre (trolley bus) - 1968 http://www.flickr.com/photos/50780708@N02/4969220184 Broad Street about 1965 http://www.francisfrith.com/reading/photos/broad-street-c1965_R13085 Friar Street, about 1965 http://www.francisfrith.com/reading/photos/friar-street-c1965_R13076 Reading Technical College about 1965 http://www.francisfrith.com/reading/photos/technical-college-c1965_R13094 Tilehurst – The White House Junction, about 1965 http://www.francisfrith.com/tilehurst/memories/tilehurst-1960s_59351 ç Tilehurst – near Tilehurst Triangle 1960s http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/561924 Reading (Southern) Station frontage in the 1960s http://www.semgonline.com/location/reading_01.html The Mod Scene in Reading – late 50s and 60s – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-12821828 (see photos by clicking on them underneath the first large picture) Caversham Bridge, about 1955 http://www.francisfrith.com/reading/photos/caversham-bridge-c1955_R13048 Tilehurst Triangle, about 1955 http://www.francisfrith.com/tilehurst/photos/the-triangle-c1955_T48020 varying old pictures going back to early 20th century … http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/berkshire/hi/people_and_places/arts_and_culture/newsid_8249000/8249338.stm Suttons Seeds – 19th century! http://www.bbc.co.uk/berkshire/features/2003/06/beer_bulbs_biscuits.shtml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You-Tube – rare footage of Reading in the 60s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQOY13U4SOI Hope you enjoy them, my friends!!
