Thumbnail for A queue of people, mostly women, three deep, along the pavement on the south side of Broad Street, Reading, in May 1949. Two adjacent shops had announced that they would have fully-fashioned nylon stockings for sale, which were not generally available owing to post-war shortages. The recognisable shop-fronts are at No. 102 (Dorothy Perkins, ladies' outfitters); Nos. 100 and 101 (the Cadena Cafe); No. 99 (Reed and Sons, gentlemen's outfitters); Nos. 97 and 98 (Burton's, gentlemen's outfitters), and No. 96 (Silver's, gentlemen's outfitters). 1940-1949: photograph in the collection of Reading Museum and Art Gallery, published in the book "Reading in the News" by Susan Read, page 24
