An outing, about to set off from Cemetery Junction, Reading, c. 1925. Five open-topped charabancs stand in London Road, full of people, and a lady with what appears to be a check-list stands in front. The registration plates which can be read are DP3650, DP6315, and BW3837, names on the radiators are Daimler, Dennis and Thornycroft, and the Thornycroft vehicle has "White Heather" painted on the front.

Adams and Company, ironmongers (No. 213); Edward Jackson and Sons, outfitters (No. 215); Eastman's, butchers (No. 219); Harrell's, grocers (No. 221), G. W.
