Manufacturer description
Metrobus was formed by Tillingbourne, a rural independent based in West Surrey, taking over former Orpington & District operations between Orpington and Croydon. This vehicle is carrying the Pearl Assurance adverts. Pearl grew from a loan club that started in 1857 as the Pearl Loan Company, operating out of a pub called the Royal Oak opposite the famous Whitechapel Bell Foundry. This joined with The Pearl Life Assurance & Sick Benefit Society which had begun in 1862 and was located nearby.
