EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the stunning architectural beauty of The Town Hall in Reading, Berkshire, England. The Town Hall, an exquisite example of Victorian architecture, stands proudly with its ornate facade, adorned with intricate details and grand columns. The building, designed by renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse, was completed in 1871 and served as the town's administrative center. The photograph also features the majestic statue of Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, located in front of the Town Hall. Queen Victoria, dressed in her regal attire, gazes serenely towards the horizon, symbolizing the strong connection between the monarchy and the community of Reading. In the background, St. Laurence Church, with its impressive Gothic Revival architecture, can be seen towering over Friar Street. The church, dedicated to St. Laurence, the patron saint of cooks, was built between 1854 and 1856. Its tall spire and ornate details add to the overall charm and grandeur of this historic scene. The photograph, with its rich history and architectural detail, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the elegance and charm of Reading during the Victorian era.
