Jacksons Corner

Week 22  Jackson's Corner, Reading

Finding myself in Reading for the first time, I took a walk around the centre, which now comprises the huge 'Oracle' shopping centre. It was so sad to see what once was 'the department store' in Reading derelict. Jackson's was founded by Edward Jackson in 1875 and remained a family business until December 2013 when it finally succumbed to the new age of shopping.
