A nostalgic photo of Reading’s Butter Market from the 60s sparks fond memories among locals, sharing their experiences and stories.
Reading: A recent post in the “Memories of another day” Facebook group has brought back some sweet nostalgia. Murray Leese shared a photo of the Butter Market from 1967, and it got everyone talking.
People jumped in with their memories, reminiscing about the good old days. One person recalled the Wimpy bar nearby, saying they could almost taste the chips and coke from back then.
Another chimed in about enjoying cockles with vinegar, just like their dad used to do. It’s funny how food can trigger such vivid memories, right?
Someone else shared how they used to shop there every Saturday morning. They even worked in an office that overlooked the bustling market. Sounds like a lively place!
Others joined the conversation, recalling their Saturday mornings spent at the market with family. One person fondly remembered standing at the cockleman stall with their granddad.
And let’s not forget the underground toilets! Someone mentioned the green tiles and a lady cleaning in the corner. It’s those little details that make memories so special.
Another memory surfaced about a toy stall from the Dolls Hospital, located at the corner of Bridge Street and St Mary’s Butts. It’s amazing how these snippets of the past can connect us all.
