A Tour of Coley Streets (Part 1)

A tour of the streets of Coley (Reading, Berkshire) with historical and personal commentary by local people. The video tour takes the viewer from the ancient route-way of Castle Street to the Victorian slums of the Coley Steps, with little bits in-between on the medieval wool trade, Civil War fortifications, Victorian brick making, post-WW2 community life and the destruction wrought by the development of the Inner Distribution Road (IDR).
