READING is famous for its beer, bulbs and biscuits, but it has had more industries based here.
A new online talk next week will unpack some of this hidden history.
Jo Alexander-Jones will lead the session for the Berkshire Family History Society, exploring industries such as printing, ironworking and brickmaking; names like Cox and Wyman, Katesgrove Foundry and Poulton’s Waterloo Kiln Brickworks.
The session takes place from 2pm on Thursday, May 26. Places must be booked in advance, in order for a weblink to be sent out. They cost £5, or £4 for members.
