This fine example of a Victorian London Bus was built in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Built by the London General Omnibus Company Limited it ran in central London. However, after service in London ended it was eventually sold to Mr Swift who ran the Three Tuns in Dorking High Street and finally Daniel Fairbrother who owned the Windmill Pub in Flint Hill, Dorking.
