Newtown: A photographic journey in Reading,
A collection of unique photographs records the days and weeks prior to the demolition of part of Victorian Newtown to make way for its 1970s replacement. Evocative black and white images of the streets, the houses, the canal and the people reveal glimpses of a vibrant society on the brink of change, in which children play on the streets and intricate brickwork details contradict the fragility and decay already apparent in the buildings. This beautiful book will fascinate anyone either personally or professionally interested in the social history of Reading. ISBN: 978-1-901677-88-1 Pub date: September 2012
