Where is this vehicle ?

Two steam trams without locations. Firstly, a #16 tram to Aston. Any idea where this is located ?

Secondly, this is somewhere in Birmingham in 1906 and is the last steam tram, but any idea, where? The rails are in the process of being removed.

The name in the second photo is Ambler Bros.
They are funeral undertakers on the Alcester Road between Moseley and Kings Heath today.
I will see if I can find them in 1906.

Update;
1905 Kelly's Directory they are at 22 Longmore Street.
I don't know if that is where the photo was taken or not as it may just be an advertising board. The location does not look as if in the city
