Our Mission

To Preserve our Heritage for:

Generations Past - The Memories
Generations Present - The Preservation
Generations Future - The Inheritance

To protect the Baths and the Meadow from the developers and prevent the snatching away what rightfully belongs to the people of Reading.

We are a group of people with a common interest in restoration and preservation, collecting together on this mission.

Six years ago as soon as people learned the fate of Kings Meadow and its Baths, we combined strength, spirit and determination for a common goal.

The goal is to preserve the Baths from destruction, and preserve the space on the Meadow including Lock Island.

This whole area could succomb to concrete, development and commercial enterprise.

We need to preserve the tranquillity and freedom of the riverside and to prevent yet another piece of Reading's Heritage from being destroyed.

Our group of people have experience from various career aspects, and most serve the community in many other ways during their free time.

The combination of these skills, together with the enthusiasm and dynamism of our group have secured a Grade II English Heritage Listing on this building.
