Illustrated throughout with black and white drawings, prints and thumbnail sketches, this celebration of wildlife along the Thames in verse and prose is a loving and thought-provoking compilation of poems and prose-poems composed over a period of years by two inveterate river trudgers and wildlife-sketchers. Short poems of intense observation, are mixed with urban myths, strange facts, and plausible fictions. The authors have walked the length of the Thames and back, recording every little twitch of bird and insect, and what they didn’t see they invented.

The ornate and impressive facade of Broad Street Congregational Chapel, one of the jewels of Reading's town centre conceals a fascinating past. The author chronicles the life of the building and its origins, from the Lollards of the 1400s through Puritanism and persecution in the 1500s and 1600s, respectability in the 1800s and finally decline in the 1960s. Now that the building has been rescued from dereliction and restored as a bookshop, few shoppers appreciate its religious significance or know about the people whose lives centred upon it for so many centuries. In this comprehensive account, the story of the chapel is told in its entirety, right up to the present day.

Close to Reading’s busy centre, off London Street, stands the Friends Meeting House and burial ground. Austere, grand and yet welcoming, it can be both a place of challenge and a place of rest. But a Meeting is the people itself, not the building, and through overlapping generations this keeps a continuity across 350 years. This book outlines the long and at times surprisingly turbulent and moving story of the Reading Quaker Meeting.
