Reading grew around a crossing of the River Kennet, a mile from where it meets the Thames. Henry I founded Reading Abbey in 1121, and its ruins still stand by the town centre. Later the town ran on the Three Bs: beer from Simonds, bulbs from Suttons Seeds and biscuits from Huntley and Palmers. Today it's Berkshire's largest town, and every summer it hosts the Reading Festival.
Beer, bulbs, biscuits and boxes

Post the job for free and licensed, insured local carriers send you quotes. You pay once your waste has been collected, and every job comes with a waste transfer note, kept in your account.
