Sign on the battery box of a restored Tilling Stevens bus, built in 1927, which alternated between the Reading and Maidenhead depots of the Thames Valley Traction Company from 1938 onwards. The sign reads: "The Thames Valley Traction Co., Ltd. Theodore Graham, Gen. Manager, 83, Thorn St., Reading." It is seen here on 2 August 2015 in front of Reading Station at the rally of old motor buses organised by the Thames Valley and Great Western Omnibus Trust to mark the centenary of the introduction of motor bus services to the Thames Valley. photograph by David Cliffe
