One of the places I'm drawn to when I visit my home town is the Old Town Hall which houses the museum and art gallery and old concert hall. Now the place is closed. I look at photos of my home town and hope that one day things will be back to some sort of normality so that we can travel again. One of the projects that had been taking place in the building was the refurbishment of the café. Little did I know that this was planned when I visited one time and took some photos. Now the photos are a record of the changes that are now on hold.
an old tea tricycle (1945) on display
Warrick's in Caversham Road, Reading made the Wall's Ice-cream 'Stop Me and Buy One' tricycles. Their tricycles had many different uses such as this tea tricycle above.
Also on display are items of memorabilia connected with Reading which is well known for brewing, (Simonds' Brewery, later Courage Brewery), biscuit making (Huntley and Palmer Biscuit Factory) and the growing of bulbs and seeds under trial conditions to improve their productivity (Sutton Seeds).
