Dez Maule – Coley

John – they are lovely stories, beautifully written with such graphic detail. Although I never lived in Coley, the activities and neighbourliness described in the stories were typical of where we lived in West Reading (Mason Street) and later in Whitley Wood (Spencer Road) – all before TV became popular. I can imagine the detail and location would have brought back many memories for you. I think the Coley spirit within the neighbourhood was a bit special, even unique in Reading and the memories have obviously been deeply etched into the minds of those who grew up in that area of Reading. Thanks for sharing the wonderful stories.
