Thank you so much for the wonderful videos. I grew up in coley garnet street 1982-85 then Dover street 1985-1997 my mother still lives there now. Was a pupil of old coley primary and brought me so much history I never knew about coley before.

By the way, the name of the little bungalow between The Blue Lion and Brook Street was Willow Cottage.

Amazing videos, any chance of any information and pics or videos about cemetery junction area especially Newtown streets. I spent most of my childhood and young life there. Amazing work pls keep it up

Sorry Kadir, not really our area. Maybe someone else with good knowledge of Newtown could put something together. There's a great book of photos of Newtown in the 1970s by Terry Allsop that could be used.

What about the Jam Factory!?

[@joedoak]

We’ll have to get Terry Dixon (who’s writing-up the history of Reading’s/Coley’s lost industries) on that!
