Assize Courts, Grade II listed courthouse in Reading, Great Britain
The Assize Courts building features architectural elements typical of British judicial structures, with formal stone facades and symmetrical window arrangements.
The Assize Courts in Reading served as a primary location for criminal proceedings from its construction until the reorganization of the British court system in 1971.
This courthouse represents the traditional English legal system, where circuit judges traveled between different towns to conduct criminal and civil proceedings.
The building maintains its legal function today, continuing to process cases through modern court proceedings in Reading's central district.
The structure exemplifies the architectural transition period when British courthouses moved from traditional medieval designs to more formal institutional layouts.
