With grateful thanks to Stephen McCurrie for these scans.
A meeting was held at Reading as early as 1774 and went on until 1814. The vicinity of the course then changed and racing was reintroduced in 1843 and lasted until 1875. The rare racecard shown above records the meeting of 1858. The final recorded meeting took place on 14th January 1875.
If you have :-
a favourite memory of this racecourse;
photos or a postcard of the course;
a members badge from the course, either to sell or as a scan;
then email me at johnslusar@fsmail.net and I will include the details on this site together with an acknowledgement for you.
