Reading is a historical town that was first inhabited in the sixth century by the Saxons. Later in 1121 Henry I founded Reading Abbey, and in 1164 the Abbey became one of the most important religious and political centre in England. Today the remains of the Abbey are still standing and can be explored, and there are still regular live performances by bands, poets and playwrights.

During the Industrial Revolution Reading entered a period of industrial growth and in 1810 the Kennet and Avon canal opened, providing the town with direct access to Bristol and the sea. It was at this time that Reading became famous all over the world for three reasons, its Beer, Biscuits, and bulbs.
