The courtyard of the George Hotel
The ivy-clad courtyard of the George Hotel, Reading.
The picturesque cobbled courtyard is a reminder of Reading's importance as a major stopping point on the road between London and Bath. The inn on the corner of King Street and Minster Street is recorded as far back as 1423, though the present buildings are mainly 18th and 19th century.
