Brunswick Street, Reading

The mock-tudor building half way along this terrace is a pub, the Forester's Arms. The gable end beyond that is that of a former 17th century silk mill built by Huguenot refugees from the German city of Brunswick (Braunschweig), hence the street's name. The building has since served as pub (the Brunswick Arms) and has now been converted into houses.
