Description:The Hill family brothers (including the image donor's great-grandfather Sam Hill and grandfather Reg Hill), sons and some of their employees outside the garage on the corner of Wellington Road and Bucknall New Road, along with some of their motor buses. The family had a license to run motor buses on a number of routes in competition to the then popular trams. They successfully traded until selling the business to the company that became the Potteries Motor Traction (PMT) company.
