THIS week, our regular trip down memory lane takes us to Minster Street and Broad Street.

If you think you know when the original photograph was taken, please let us know.

The modern-day picture shows how different the street looks today compared to when the original photograph was taken.

Today, Patisserie Valerie stands on the corner of the street and coffee shop, Pret a Manger is next door with Costa opposite.

The statue that used to stand in the middle of the street is no longer there. If you know what this was a statue of, let us know.

Every week the team at The Reading Chronicle pores through the archives to find these hidden gems. We would like to hear your memories of the local area and any thoughts you may have on the changes that have occurred. Get in touch with us by emailing andrew.colley@london.newsquest.co.uk or write to Reading Chronicle, Bowman House, 2-10 Bridge Street, Reading, RG12LU.

We’re on the lookout for more historic images from the area. Send your pictures and suggestions for our team to re-photograph.
