Tardebigge,
Isn't it at Breedon Cross, the bus running anticlockwise round the Outer Circle, out of Pershore Road into Fordhouse Lane?
Happy New Year by the way.

Well, that one had me fooled. I thought Selly Oak, the factory on the right (Birmingham Battery?) the houses climbing to Gibbins Road and the bus depot just off shot, but I never saw it with traffic flowing like that. It's always been a one-way system to me. That must be early 1950s, just after the Bristol Road trams finished.
