Kelly's Directories for Reading 1930/40
« on: Tuesday 11 August 15 21:12 BST (UK) »
My great uncle lived at 173 Caversham Road, Reading between about 1934 and 1942. This property is now a shop. Does anybody have copies of Kelly's directories for Reading for around this period and could tell me what the property was then.  Many thanks.

Might be worth contacting Reading Central Library for this. One thought: there's a risk that the street has been re-numbered since then....so 173 now isn't where 173 was then. Reading Council would know, I imagine.

Okay thank you for your help. Hadn't thought about possible renumbering.
