Title: Entertainments Programme, 1873 [Go to resource]
Description: The steady increase in sales both at home and abroad led to considerable expansion of the Reading works. In 1873 the new North Manufacturing Department was opened. This new department was built on land at Blake's Wharf on the north side of the River Kennet which had been bought from William Blandy. The opening was celebrated by a party at which 4,000 guests listened to scientific lectures, watched juggling displays and danced to a temperance band.
