An old bus shelter in Henley Road
Image: © Rose and Trev Clough Taken: 9 Oct 2013
A unique survivor from the 1930s, painted in the maroon and cream colours associated with Reading buses of the past (see old photo taken at the nearby route terminus Image ). In 2013 it was feared the Council might demolish the shelter because it was in a poor state of repair and did not conform with disability access. A petition was raised to try and save it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-22142663 - we do not know the outcome.
