Broad Street, Reading

Many will remember this building on the corner of Broad Street and Chain Street as the men’s outfitters Silver’s which stood on the site for over 70 years. Others will know it as Country Casuals and, now, Cath Kidson. But it started life as the Post Office Tavern, taking its name from Reading’s first GPO on the opposite corner. In 1900, illicit gambling caused the pub’s closure and it re-opened as Poynders Post Office Bookshop and Library until 1919 when Silver’s took it over.
