A LOCAL historian has updated one of his guided walks which examines the influence of women on the town of Reading.
Terry Dixon leads a number of walks which explore the history of Reading, including an updated version of his Vote 105 walk.
Following the publishing Reading’s Influential Women, which he co-wrote with Linda Saul, in 2020, Mr Dixon has included fresh details and contemporary context to the walk especially for 2023.
He will lead the walk from Talbot House, Castle Street, in the first part of a series of walks examining the influence of the women of Reading on its history.
The walk is expected to last around for around one hour and 45 minutes, including group discussion to conclude.
Attendance requires a £5 donation for adults and £1 for children over 5, payable in cash, with the proceeds going to Terry’s Reading Walkabouts’ selected charities.
Family tickets are also available for £12, and signed copies of Terry’s book are available on advanced request.
Terry’s Reading Walkabouts is currently supporting PACT, which lends support to families through adoption services, therapy, community projects, and the Royal Berks Charity, which supports the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust.
Vote 105 will begin outside Talbot House, 55 Castle Street, from 10am on Monday, February 6.
It is requested that attendees arrive 10 minutes before the start time.
