The changing face of Newbury

Local historian Tony Higgott has been chronicling the history of the town.

Tony Higgott:

"Newbury is in a very good position...it's on a sort of crossroads and a river crossing, and it's in the middle of the country.

"In the 1960s it was still really a market town.

"I think the big change really was with the road network change, when the relief road was build in the 1960s that took a lot of the traffic off the main shopping streets."
