Kidmore Road, from the front car park of the Grosvenor
The Grosvenor pub had a varied menu, but didn't seem to serve Grosvenor pie.
(In early 2017 the Grosvenor was revamped and renamed as the 'Caversham Rose' https://www.thecavershamrosereading.co.uk/ .) A large amount of custom is expected at some times, because it has large car parks front and back, almost squeezing out the rear garden. N.B. We're still in Berkshire here.

The Grosvenor, Kidmore Road
A large pub/restaurant in Caversham Heights, currently operated by Ember Inns.
Looking at old maps http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?txtXCoord=470540&txtYCoord=176180 it appears to have been built between the world wars, it was then called Grosvenor House.

Bugs' Bottom, Caversham
The houses of the Caversham encroach on this dry valley which was saved from being developed. A little frost lasted all day in the shade of the trees.

Bugs Bottom
Looking from the rising land to the north, the green finger of parkland can be seen. With development resisted, this remains a well-used area of open land between the residential areas of Emmer Green (left) and Caversham heights (right). Shown on most maps as Hemdean Bottom, the local name (officially used as well) is Bugs Bottom.

Bugs Bottom
Called Hemdean Bottom on most maps, but known locally as Bugs Bottom, and now with official approval from this sign. This is the southern entrance to this area of parkland (see Rosalind Mitchell's geograph for the other entrance). A lot of local resistance fought off potential development about a decade ago, leaving a popular green space for residents.
