The old station

There has been a railway station in Reading since 1840 when the Great Western railway reached the town on its way to Bristol.. Eventually the station also served Newbury and Hungerford and later came Basingstoke
In 1860 a new station building, in Bath Stone and incorporating a tower and clock, was constructed for the Great Western Railway..

This photo is the station in Reading used between 1860 and 1965 built in a lovely Bath stone..

In 1989 a brand new station concourse was created and the 1860 building were converted into the Three Guineas public house.

Good place for a drink and to watch the world go by.
