SUMMARY:Victoria Park Comm. Group Walkabout Schools\, Market\, Swim Pool\, Pubs\,!
DESCRIPTION:After reflecting on the history of the Oxford Road Community School we will wander the back streets of Victorian Reading and take a view of the design of a modern building squeezed into a small site by the railway line.

We will consider the use of former historic pubs and breathe a sigh of relief that the Butler is still with us. After passing modern Chatham Place\, we will wander west along Oxford Road to look at Holy Trinity and some works undertaken by the High Street Heritage Action Zone. Finally we will pass Reading’s only remaining traditional gents outfitters\, Demain\, and then to coffee/ tea and chat at Barista and Beyond in Chatham Place. \nPlease bring a cash donation of £5 or £10 per adult & £1 per child over 5.
