Union Street, a narrow pedestrian street between Friar Street and Broad Street, is ubiquitously known in Reading as "Smelly Alley" because of all the fish and meat shops along here. Many are still there, just counters fronting the street, but these days there is a greater variety of shops. On the Saturday evening before Christmas all the stalls are closed.
