Reading's historic 'time-warp department store'

Available for over a year

Jackson's Department Store sat right in the heart of Reading town centre for 138 years. You may remember the shop for selling uniforms for more than 100 schools across Berkshire. Thomas Macey from Reading worked at Jackson's for more than 10 years until it closed on Christmas Eve 2013 and has since become an archivist for the store. He's been sharing some of his memories of his time there with 91福利社 Radio Berkshire's Katie Tyler. Photo credit: Malerapaso / Thomas Macey
