People & Place

Reading: People & Place: In this lively gallery you can find out how Reading people lived in the past and how both famous and ordinary men and women made the town we know today. This gallery explores Reading's long history, from the present day back to its origins as a Saxon settlement in the 6th century, through oral history, interactive displays and a rich mix of real objects. It includes seats from Elm Park stadium and the huge 17th century gates of the original Oracle workhouse.
