Britain's What's On Event Guide
Brock Keep
Heritage Open Day: Come and see artworks on show and join tours around the historic former armoury and gatehouse which is home to artist studios and a contemporary art gallery. Brock Keep, completed in 1877, is a fine example of the Victorian keeps, built to aid recruitment and to increase local pride. They provided a ceremonial gatehouse, guardroom, fire engine house, and secure storage for arms, ammunition and soldiers' kit. They were designed by distinguished architect Major H C Seddon of the Royal Engineers.
Reading’s Keep is one of the surviving few that have not been demolished or converted.
