Can somebody tell me the correct battery for this bike please bosch or exide preferably so I can get an equivalent from Tanya batteries, thanks.

Its a 6 volt battery. was probably Exide back in the day but they are no longer around, I would go for a sealed type battery as they do not spill acid like the old ones. There is quite a bit of space in the battery/toolbox so most modern ones will fit although you may need to pack them out with some foam rubber. Something like this would do the job https://motorcyclepartswarehouse.co....8aArpsEALw_wcB

I don't favour that type, because they don't have 'proper' terminal connections. Also, adding ?8 for p&p makes it ?25. I would go for this:-

Similar size and spec, with proper terminals and free next day delivery. I am just about to order one myself for my 20DC

I understand the ebay link wasn't working, but it is now.
