Title: Mileages from Reading, 1935 [Go to resource]
Description: By the 1930s motor vehicle traffic was rapidly increasing on British roads, with over 2 million vehicles by 1939. Companies like Huntley & Palmers were increasingly turning to road transport as a viable alternative to the railways. The company started buying a fleet of delivery vans in the mid 1920s and even produced biscuit tins shaped like these vans in the 1920s and 1930s.
