The maps remind me of parking up for a Reading game at the Madejski, and being approached by a confused woman, clutching a map, asking for directions to get to Shinfield. I'm not surprised she was confused, as the map was so old that it didn't even have the M4 marked on it.

Fantastic video. I Only wish it was longer and showed more areas of Reading but I guess you can only work with the images you have! Thanks for your work on this

I saw Burghfield at the bottom of the map and reminded me of when I first enlisted there when I joined the WRNS. I'd forgotten the name of the place so thanks for the reminder. I think the camp was Dauntless. Nice photos of Reading BTW 😉

Yes, it was HMS Dauntless. In the 1950's my Uncle worked there as a plumber with the maintenance team.

RAF Shinfield Park staff visited on dance nights. Man overboard yelled whenever we took a shortcut across the grass.
