Reading Conservation Areas Walk
For those interested in Berkshire's rich history
Join guide, Terry Dixon, for this walk through three of Reading’s conservation areas – The Mount, Redlands & Alexandra Road. The history of much of this area is inextricably tied up with the growth of Huntley and Palmers, in particular, in its heyday, and the growth overall of Reading in the Victorian period, accelerated by the coming of the railway. From farms to smart ‘des-res’ & so much more!
The walk will finish at the Museum of English Rural Life where you can stop for a biscuit and a drink if you so wish.
Numbers are limited, so pre-booking is required.
10am - 12 noon
