Major suburb of Reading which used to, and may still be, the largest private housing estate in western Europe.

From 1977, the Lower Earley private estate was constructed, almost doubling the town's population to the current level. Two new primary schools were built together with a large supermarket and sports centre. An additional secondary school is envisaged.
