South of Northfield Jean. Oops I'm giving out clues already, Phil will have something to say about that when he gets back.

I honestly haven't any idea where it is, but it must be within the old City of Birmingham boundaries, because it has a Corporation-pattern bus stop sign of the post-1947 pattern (with the sign projecting away from the road, as opposed to the earlier ones, with the sign symmetrically centred over the supporting post.
I'll guess it's along the Redditch Road beyond King's Norton, and south of Redhill Road, probably at the next junction with Longbridge Lane, right on the city boundary, which would explain the manky street lighting past the junction.

Mike,
As soon as I saw the photo I thought The Radleys, but you put south of Northfield. The Radleys is North East of Northfield. Smack hand.

Yes Jean,
Of course your son at the Radleys office. I recognised it straight away. But the south of Northfield bit, I thought there must be another place that looks just the same. Ah well. And men say that its the women that can't map read!

Well OK ragga but we must support local industries so you can have one of my Christmas pressy Cadburys Heroes except the plain Bournvilles - they're all gone!
