Ancient conservation techniques are being used to help preserve Reading's historic abbey ruins.

Hot lime mortar is to be used at the site, which is more than 900 years old.

Lewis Proudfoot of Cliveden Conservation, who is helping preserve the historic abbey ruins, said the same techniques would have been used in the original construction.

He said the mortar was in many ways better than cement and modern construction materials.
