1 may 2011 - Redhill, Surrey (GB) – Brighton Road. Today was the annual London to Brighton run of the British Historic Commercial Vehicle Society (HCVS), which passes the end of the street where I live. Here are some of this year’s highlights, beginning with this 1930 Tilling Stevens bus from the Chalk Pits museum at Amberley, Sussex. Tilling Stevens were a celebrated bus and lorry manufacturer based in Kent; bought by a bigger company in the 1950s, they soon went broke and disappeared.
