Closure of Jacksons
28-12-13
2pm on Christmas Eve saw the closure of Reading's long established traditional department store Jacksons. Founded in 1875, the family owned store started out as a gentlemen's outfitters at No 6 High Street, but changes to the layout of Kings Road in 1890 to allow the town's horse tram system a direct route into Broad Street led to the demolition of the adjoining units and the creation of Jackson's Corner.
Still a key cross roads on the bus network, 1110 on route 17 passes 805 on route 6 at Jacksons Corner.
Matching the store's colour scheme, 807 emerges from High Street on 24th.
225 outside the main entrance on Kings Road on 24th.
A commemorative display in the shop window.
