Jacksons Corners: A Glimpse into Reading’s Past

Opens on 2 December 2025

Venue: Welcome Gallery Reading Museum

Step into Reading’s history with a special display of two stunning scale models – Jacksons’ Duke Street Stores and the iconic Jacksons Corner – shown together for the first time. 

These intricately crafted models capture the store in its Edwardian heyday, celebrating a local landmark that first opened in 1875 and served generations until its closure in 2013.  

Inspired by public memories, this exhibit is a heartfelt tribute to a beloved institution. Whether you shopped there, worked there, or just remember it fondly – come and reconnect with a piece of Reading’s heritage.
