The report seems a bit confused as to whether there is an app or not.

It's the normal webpage. IE, they don;t need to make apps any more. It's all done in HMTL(5).

Works fine on my Android phone.  :evil:

If it works the same way on an Apple device,  Open maps, long press on the area of the map you want to view, press on the address that pops up and then press on Street View

Go to the location you want, tap on the map and you should see a info panel at the bottom popup, tap on the little person icon, this will take you into street view.

You could always tell when they were mashing at Reading Brewery, for the same reason, Paul.

They are moving the Wadworth brewery  to Thatcham, so the smell will go, along with the local jobs, or is it just the bottling? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-19520334

I know they are closing the warehouse part down (just the beer section) but keeping the wines & spirits part open.

I don't think they are closing the brewery part down though, so the smell will stay.
