The geology of the Thames Valley provides little good building
stone, so the towns are made very largely of local brick. Reading
is particularly rewarding for the brick-fancier, thanks to the
variety of colours available and the inventive patterns that
Victorian bricklayers loved to make. Illustrated throughout with
photographs of surviving examples, Bricks and Brickwork in Reading
gets back to basics with bonding, tells the 100-year story of a
successful Victorian brick maker, pays homage to Alfred Waterhouse
and revels in the delights of air bricks and crinkle-crankle walls.
A walking tour gives the reader the opportunity to see the more
notable examples of Reading's brickwork for themselves.
