The new buildings of the British Railways (Western Region) signal works on Caversham Road are prominent to the left. The large roofs and yard of Vincent's garage with Station Hill, artificially raised up on concrete pillars, appear in front of the General Station. Parts of Oxford Road, Broad Street, Friar Street, Cheapside, and St. Mary's Butts can be seen. 1940-1949
