Administrative / biographical background:

[Thomas Henry Brain is listed in local directories as a coach builder and harness maker, at 4 Friar Street, Reading. This volume records his ancillary business, hiring out coaches and carriages. He appears to have succeeded coach builder Thomas Brain at 6 Friar Street (fl.1830). As he is not recorded in an 1854 directory, he may have gone out of business soon after the last entry in this volume.]
