Reading Town Hall and Reading Museum

The Old Town Hall with its clock tower occupies the middle part of this photo. The Museum is along Blagrave St. to the left. There is
much to see about Reading Abbey in the museum: sculpted stones from the Abbey in the Window Gallery, and the background to and
artefacts from the Abbey in The Story of Reading Gallery. More information can be seen on the Museum's list of permanent galleries.
For further information about the ruins see also the museum's Abbey Quarter website.
