A Picture of a Southern Town- Life in Wartime Reading, Berkshire, England, UK, 1945
Two mothers enjoy a chat as their children play in the sitting room of a house on the Southcote Estate in Reading. The room has French windows which lead onto the garden. According to the original caption, a "house like this could be brought before the war for under �GBP800 or through a Building Society paid for with repayment rent of about �GBP1 per week. To-day these houses are rarely obtainable, sell for about �GBP2000".
