Oh, now I think about it I do remember the boards. But unless one goes there in the first place likelihood is one wouldn't know that these things exist (except WIlde's goal, I suppose - is that a good reason for fame for a town?). And particularly the abbey seems to get mainly rather neglected. Though I used to eat my lunch in Forbury gardens when I was workig there a few years ago, and that was very pleasant. Oh, and the library had a 'great people of Reading' (http://www.readinglibraries.org.uk/services/local/greatpeople.htm) thing a few years back, which was nice. I believe I voted for Hugh Faringdon.
No idea what the town is up to these days though :)
