EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage charm of Reading, Berkshire's Old Gasworks sign, dating back to the 1980s. The sign, which once proudly marked the entrance to the gasworks, is a remnant of the 19th century industrial history of the town. The intricately painted design, featuring the name "Gas" and the image of a flame, is a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The sign's rustic appearance, with its faded colors and weathered edges, adds to its allure and sense of history. The image also captures the atmospheric setting of the gasworks, with its towering chimneys and industrial machinery, providing a glimpse into the past when gas production was a significant industry. This photograph, taken by an unidentified photographer in the 1980s, offers a unique perspective of Reading's industrial heritage and serves as a reminder of the town's rich history. Alan Greely, a local historian and author, has documented the history of Reading's gasworks in his book "Reading's Industrial Past," providing further context and insight into the significance of this iconic sign.
