Are there any railway buffs on the local history list?
I have another query that some members may be able to help me with - I
have just found out that my great grandfather was listed in the 1881 census
as living in Friar Street Reading, and being a 'railway labourer'. Does
anyone know which railway would have been built around that area at that
time ? The Great Western went from Paddington to the west country, and I
think it went through Reading, but was it at that time ?
Any help gratefully received
