Thumbnail for Two elephants, chained together, walking along a street in Reading to advertise the arrival of the Circus Cavalcade in August 1949. They are probably in Basingstoke Road: the procession to the circus ground was via Oxford Road, St. Mary's Butts, Silver Street, Mount Pleasant and Basingstoke Road, to the "corner field" on Whitley Wood Lane. One of the elephants is being ridden by a man wearing a turban, and a group of children walk alongside. 1940-1949: photograph which was published in the book, "Reading in the News, " by Susan Read, page 77
