now the 24 came up Hill St turned right into New Street left up Corporation St left into Bull St left into Colmore Row round Galloways corner back into New St and right into Ethel St joined Pinfold St right into Stephenson St and left down Hill St
 
I'm with John Knight on this one. Turning left from New St. into Corporation Street. Behind on the right is what is now Waterstone's books and in the distance down Stephenson Place is New Street station.
 
i also agree with john...junction of corporation and new st....im bound to get it right now lol....

I also agree with John, it's the junction of New St, Corporation St and Stephenson Place.

Sorry, guys and gals, nobody has got it yet but I'll say Corporation Street is a clue. Now I have gone and made it too easy!
 
Is the bus just turning into Old Square after the demolition of Kings Hall Market.

Phil
 
Phil you have cracked it! Well done it is a 24 bus diverted from turning in to Bull Street and having to use Old Square instead. As you say, the Kings Hall Market has gone and the Stork Hotel seen behind the bus would soon be gone also.
Mike
 
Good one Mike, it was the open view to the left of the photo that threw me at first. Lets have another one.

Phil
