History Pin of Reading, UK. The community contributed to this interactive google map of the town and its history.
Reading Museum tells stories of the local historic and natural environment as well as displaying and caring for objects from around the world. Reading was at the centre of early developments in photography and was one of the first places to be recorded by photography. William Henry Fox Talbot, a pioneer of photography, set up one of the world’s first commercial photographic studios in Reading in 1844. The Museum's photo collections include the archives of the Reading Chronicle and Huntley & Palmers biscuit factory. A selection of our images have been uploaded here - see our website for more information.
