Reading - River Kennet
This particular part of Kennet Side has changed very little since I attended Newtown School - the building almost in the centre of the photograph - almost 60 years ago. Behind the school you can just see a gasometer in its downward position. I seem to recall there were two and both dominated the skyline and surrounding houses when they were at their maximum height.
The bridge across the river is the railway line from Reading to London Waterloo.
