Forbury Gardens
A public park located on what was once the site of the outer court of Reading Abbey
Reading Abbey was founded in 1121, by Henry I, and for the next four centuries, it dominated the town and was one of the most influential establishments in England.
Like other monasteries, Reading had a Forbury, or 'borough in front’. A Forbury was an area of open land that provided a meeting place between the Abbey and the town.
The Forbury in Reading was part of the outer court of the Abbey and provided the town with both a meeting place and a marketplace.
The abbey was largely destroyed in 1538 during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. The last abbot, Hugh Cook Faringdon, was tried and convicted of high treason and hanged, drawn and quartered in front of the Abbey Church.
After these events, the buildings of the abbey were extensively looted, with lead, glass and facing stones removed for reuse elsewhere, and the focus of the town moved away from the Forbury.
Fairs were held on the site three times a year until the 19th century.
The gardens are listed as Grade II in the English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The backbone of the Reading's second-generation fleet was four-axle EMD units. One of the newest additions, a GP39-2, lays over in Bethlehem with a GP35 and a GP30.
Bit of a lazy bus photting session in Newbury for me today (29/03/2021) as I opted to just stand around the town's newish bus station rather than go hunting for different locations etc. It was just nice to be outside in some very pleasant early Spring sunshine for a couple of hours!
Anyway, since my last visit in 2018, the scene has changed somewhat with a new and relocated bus station and a new livery adorning the Newbury & District fleet, part of Reading Buses of course.
Stagecoach turned up with a couple from Basingstoke and one from Andover, Reading Buses with a few from Reading, and a random training bus passed by for good measure!
Seen departing Legoland in September 2018 is Reading Buses Alexander Dennis Enviro400 / ADL H47/33F 764 YY15OYF.
