The study of place-names
can tell you a lot about local history and biography; likewise street-names,
though their origins – even the recent ones – are often
hard to track down. This gazetteer of 300 streets in Reading includes
much lore, gossip and urban myth, along with a necessary dose of
pure speculation. The book is illustrated with Peter Hay’s
distinctive rubber-stamp vignettes and lettering by designer Sally
Castle.
