context_page_description: Spencers Wood is a village in the civil parish of Shinfield, Berkshire, England, 4 miles south of Reading. The village of Three Mile Cross adjoins it to the north. To the west lies the village of Grazeley.
context_section_description: The first street lighting in the village was installed after the war.
  In 1954, Spencers Wood Women's Institute was formed.  It was quite successful, with 60 members at its height.  It closed in the mid-1980s.
  In the 1960s, the M4 Motorway was built and became a man-made barrier between the village and Reading.  In the 1980s, the A33 Swallowfield Bypass severed roads to the village of Grazeley lying to the East.
  Despite local opposition, many new houses have been constructed in the village in recent years.
