Made by You is in the square, where there is a car park Studio is there which used to be Mission Night club. Behind Wood Street, but I can't think of the name of the car park. You need a ticket because the wardens there are gits.


Cheers, will have a look next time I am up that way.

We live in the oldest village in England.( Thatcham, Tac 'ham).Well it was the oldest untill it became a town a few years ago....and it was a town in the middle ages...........Anyway, there was a grist mill, later a paper mill on the river for about 800 years, then an Austrian company bought it, ran it in to the ground, got rid of a few hundred jobs demolised it and sold the land ! Progress !
Nearest town is Newbury, woolen trade, The Newbury coat is on display in the local museum, from shearing to spinning to weaving to making the coat in one day !
There was a fair ammout of engineering , but this has died off in the past few years, now home to the Vodaclones.

Lloyd: there's a coracle regatta in Shrewsbury in the summer (July?) each year. Might there be a coracle-maker there?

There are some nice things and information on the website of the jet carvers mentioned in Behemoth's quote - https://www.whitbyjet.co.uk/

And that's from someone who doesn't even like jewellery

I do like the colour black though.
