Описание к видео A Tour of Reading Town Centre (1948)

This facinating film was in Doug Noyes' collection. It was made by members of the Smith Family, of Smith's Coaches of Reading Ltd. Shot from the front of one of the Smith's coaches during the late summer of 1948, it takes the viewer on a tour of the principle streets of Reading Town Centre. It captures busy town centre activity taking place from Market Place to Oxford Road and St Mary’s Butts to the train station. It also includes film of the street frontages before post-war redevelopment, as well as the remains of The People’s Pantry, which was infamously bombed in February 1943.
