Alfred St

A Memory of Reading.

My family lived in Alfred St all their life's until it was Demolished for the underpass. A whole small community was displaced.I remember Mrs Moss shop in the middle and Ethel sweet shop at the end of the Street. And taking the laundry to the bag wash at the other end. A very small part of Alfred st Still remains which gives me a reference point to a world now lost. Does anyone remember the Dunlop building with the green dome and Sargent. I attended Oxford Rd school and Wilson Junior opposite the Brock Barracks. My grandad and uncle were bus conductors and my uncle worked for Huntly Palmer both surnames Tidbury. Nice but sad to share memories. My mother was Joan Tildury.
