In Northfield a man on the motorbike stares at the tram and hopefully he is not moving too fast otherwise he could run into the photographer. A group of women decide to have a chat as they are boarding the tram and two happy looking youngsters upstairs on the front seat maybe on their way to the Lickey Hills. The tram driver (motorman) stands looking in his mirror wondering when he can start off ... well that's my story about the pic ...
MOF 227 '00 Service Extra' on Fox Hollies Rd seems to be making a turn into Summer Rd as the driver and his mate look out at the camera. But why would they turn into Summer Rd when Acocks Green Bus Garage is 80 yds in front of them on Fox Hollies Rd ? No date for the pic but perhaps it was last day in service for the bus and they were doing a little swerve for the photographer !
I often look at the folks in these old pics and imagine what they were doing. This pic is tagged by shoothill as a Photographic Booth at a Birmingham Fair. That women on the right stares and marches towards the photographer, perhaps she about to thump him! The young lad by the umbrella looks round as if he is expecting some 'fun'.
Maybe it wasn't as I imagine it ....
