I realise that this is a very poor photo. It's a scan of a photocopy of a newspaper cutting. You can see what a near miss the bus (No. 28) is having but the lorry carrying the tank wasn't so lucky. The road was lowered not long afterwards causing different problems with flooding.
Such an interesting photo though.
We judge the original photograph to have been taken in the 1950's and it probably appeared in the Birmingham Mail. Bit worried about how close that little girl is standing to the bus or is it in fact stuck too? I do wish I knew more about this accident.
I'd really appreciate any repairs anyone can do to the picture or any additional information or thoughts please.
I'm also attaching a photo of flooding which happens during heavy rains as a result of the road being lowered. I've posted it before on the forum on the 'adverse weather' thread.
