Excavations carried out by Oxford Archaeology in advance of the
building of the Oracle shopping centre revealed a long sequence of
development of the Kennet floodplain at Reading. This volume
reports on the substantial evidence recovered for medieval and
post-medieval water management, milling at the Minster Mill and St
Giles Mill, the tanning, leather working and dyeing industries, and
an unusual building interpreted as the 12th- to 13th-century
cookhouse of Reading Abbey. The stories of two well-known Reading
sites, the Oracle Workhouse and the Yield Hall, are followed from
the medieval period up to the 19th century. Substantial specialist
reports include pottery, glass, leatherworking, dendrochronology
and clay pipes.
