Paperback. Condition: New. In the centre of Reading, stands a prominent stone obelisk supporting three bright lamps. It was built in 1804 at the expense of Edward Simeon, a director of the Bank of England, and designed by the great locally-born architect John Soane. It caused controversy and attracted criticism at first, and sto…od neglected and unlit in scruffy surroundings for many years, but after a full restoration it once again stands proudly and usefully in a worthy setting. Adam Sowan's fifth local book traces the origins of the obelisk, the development of its design, and changes to its structure and surroundings over the last 200 years. It also chronicles Soane's other Reading projects - some mooted, some built, some demolished and some mythical. The architect's own drawings are complemented by newspaper photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. If you regularly visit the Reading Central Library, or shop in Kings Walk, or cross the bridge from John Lewis to the Oracle, or live in Mallard Row, Brook Street West or Trelleck Road in Reading, you will know a little of the Holy Brook. Thousand of people use the crossroads at Jacksons Corner w…ithout knowing that theres running water a few feet down. But where does it start? Is it a natural stream or man-made? What is it for? What was it called when the Abbey was still functioning? This unique and secretive waterway has been hurrying through and under Reading for many centuries. Adam Sowan has written the fullest account yet of the Brooks topography, history, archaeology and mythology; Sally Castles map shows the places where you can follow its banks; and Peter Hays illustrations evoke its unique character. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Hay, Peter (illustrator).
