Judging by the lamp standard near the garage suggests it is a major road; Walsall Road, Maybe?

He sold up and opened up in Totnes with his son, see post 543 above.Buntings was on or near the corner of Wellhead Lane and Aldridge Road opposite to the Alexander Stadium (the original one) they were Austin agents, they went broke in the sixties I think.
Today's maps show everything around Alexander stadium (now dog track) has gone since that time. I remember the stadium when it was still used as an athletics stadium. Must have been up until the 1970s ? Not exactly sure when it became a dog track. But wasn't there another track or stadium built in/near Perry Park after that ? Or maybe I imagined that. Viv.
A photo of some waste ground and advertisment hoardings on the other side of the Walsall Rd from Christ Church where I waited in very large bus queues during the 1950's when I first started work. The entrance to the old Perry Barr Dog Track can be seen and what looks like a bus shelter which stretched all the way to the track and presumably kept the the punters out of any rain as they queued to get in. The actual track and grandstands were a long way from the road as can be seen in the aerial view in #18.
