Look hard enough and there’s no such thing as an “ordinary suburb”.
Drawing on research for Reading Libraries booklet on Southcote, Mike Cooper looks at the origins of Southcote as a medieval manor, its development as a rural community and then, in the second half of the 20th century, its transformation into a planned residential suburb. Along the way, there’s a Saxon sheriff, an Elizabethan mathematician, and the Home Guard.
Pre-booking is required, because the event link will be sent in advance.
