And a dickens of a lot of housing built in the intervening years,

MauricePhil,
I don't know this area at all well - probably been along this particular road twice in my life - but those bus shelters gave us kids hours of free fun on their crossbars! Probably need to take out a subscription to a gym to get the same thing nowadays. And that's a Vauxhall Cresta car in front of the Morris Minor on the left, if I'm not mistaken. Full of atmosphere that old picture, but the second one is a bit soulless, I'm afraid.

Yes, certainly not a BCT plate, Alan. What are those two tall structures outside the Beaufort?

The lamp on the right of the photo was also a pub. Would I be correct in thinking it was The Greenaway?The Cattell Rd / Coventry Rd junction in 1934 and behind the trolleybus is a pub.

A similar (almost) today's view is shown below ... the pub has gone.
