Tilehurst - a History Talk
with Mike Cooper
Now a residential suburb, was Tilehurst ever a village as such? Mike Cooper – who’s written Reading Libraries’ booklet on Tilehurst – looks at the history of the place and its community and how change has affected the area from the break-up of Reading Abbey lands, through the industries which took advantage of it’s natural assets down to trolleybuses and council housing.
After the talk, tea/coffee and cake will be available (included in the price). Pre-booking is preferred, but you can pay on the door, if there are spaces available.
2 - 3.30pm
