Towns
There are no cities within the county of Berkshire, though there are a number of towns. Reading has been the county town since 1867 (succeeding Abingdon), and is larger (by population and area) than a number of official cities – and, as such, is a contender for the largest town in England.

Famous quotes containing the word towns:
“Glorious, stirring sight! The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The only way to travel! Here today—in next week tomorrow! Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped—always somebody else’s horizons! O bliss! O poop- poop! O my! O my!”
—Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932)
“For months it hasn’t known the taste of steel
Washed down with rusty water in a tin.
But standing outdoors hungry, in the cold,
Except in towns at night, is not a sin.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
