On the 25th of April 1908 an unseasonal blizzard struck much of the south of England. It was the greatest snowfall since 1881. The Berks and Oxon Advertiser stated "Business was at a standstill, for in the exposed parts of the streets, snow was three feet deep, and the lowest depth was over eight inches [...] The Corporateion snow plough went round the town on Saturday afternoon, but the trench made was soon filled with snow. Sunday was fine, and under the influence of the sun a rapid thaw set in, and on Monday a number of men were set to work to clear the streets". This car shows men clearing a path along High Street.
