EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Reading, Berkshire on a sunny day in May 1966. The image captures the anticipation and excitement surrounding the construction of the Civic Centre, an iconic landmark that would soon become a symbol of civic pride for the town. The scene is bustling with activity as cars navigate through a maze of one-way streets, their sleek designs reflecting the spirit of progress that defined this era. A variety of vehicles fill up a nearby car park, showcasing the diversity of transportation choices available at that time. Amidst this lively atmosphere, signs strategically placed along the roads guide both pedestrians and motorists towards their destinations. These signs serve as silent witnesses to an evolving urban landscape where modernity intertwines with tradition. Intriguingly, tucked away in one corner is a garage adorned with its own unique signage. This humble establishment stands as a testament to local entrepreneurship and community support during times when small businesses thrived alongside major developments like the Civic Centre. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time by BT's Memory Lane Prints collection, we are reminded not only of Reading's rich history but also how cities evolve over time. It serves as a reminder to cherish our past while embracing progress and change for future generations to enjoy.
