Swallowfield Local History Newsletter 

 

Welcome to the November 2025 News Letter

 

We look forward to continuing our planned programme of speakers at the 20th November meeting, when there will be a talk given by Thomas Macey on the Jacksons Store in Reading.

Relive your memories of shopping for school uniform and the pneumatic money tubes! Thomas Macey, former employee, company archivist and author of a book about the firm, will give an illustrated talk using original archives. He will tell us about the Jackson family, the development of the store and its important place in the heritage of Reading.

 

Our meetings are usually on the third Thursday of the month in the Rose Room at the Swallowfield Parish Hall. Visitors are always welcome
