Thank you for clearing that up for me. It should be used as part of a Quiz......The Bus Station that never was!Also the city council realised that if they used it as a bus station they would lose it to the WMPTE without compensation so they kept it as part of Paradise Circus.
No def, not Moat lane. This was before we moved to Moat LaneCould this be Moat lane? A bus route passes where you were.

Where is the picture please ?New Street
This great view is one of several taken one November morning in 1962 (at ten to nine - see the clock nearly halfway up the left hand side!) to show the volume of traffic in the city. I have another in a book (taken at 9:08 by the same clock!) showing more of the distance, stationary buses and cars right back to Victoria Square.
I think they were taken because the City Council was in the early stages of considering the closure of city centre roads to traffic, as has now happened.
There are a lot of archived pictures like this, showing heavy (rush hour) traffic before a road scheme came into operation, and corresponding ones showing little or no traffic (taken at an off-peak time, or even Sunday!) afterwards.
Presumably the pictures proved the schemes worked!
I know Barry - has anything happened to him?Hi,just wondered if any one ever met or remember my relative Barry Shelton ? He was a huge bus and transport history follower and I am looking for any photographs of him on the buses?
