My first thought was it was a Hawleys the bakers van, but could be wrong.

Definatly the Warwick Road Greet Ragga, just down from Percy Road towards Acocks Green, looks like the driver is putting two fingers up to the photographer.

Great photos again Ragga, nice to see some Midland Red ones from you, I like Mike have driven all those types from Digbeth.

They were also assembled at Castle Bromich and tested from the airfield there.

I agree with Stitcher Phil, am really enjoying your collection of photos, and especially as its on the ols 90 and 91 bus routes on which i used to drive. thanks Phil.

Great photo,s once again Ragga, I do believe as you say that 2847 is still in preservation.

the old 29a was renumbered 91 from Pheasey estate to the Baldwin and 90 back to Pheasey, it was the longest route in Birmingham, 27 miles round trip. the running time was an hour and 5 mins. each way.

You seem to have the route ok Radiorails, except you have missed Springfield Rd. out between Wake green Rd. and the Stratford Rd. I used to drive the 90 and 91s on these routes.

Is the old firestation in Lancaster place still empty and doing nothing? but council owned again I guess.

Hi. Baz. There wasnt a Mickey Tyler, I am still in touch with Richard Tyler though, another name was Haylor in that group of houses and Ken would be about your age and went to Wheelers Lane school as well.

Yes we lived in the first group of houses as you say, other names in that group were Waltons, Barlows, Spence and Tylers.

Where did you live then Baz?, I lived in Highters Road till I was 15, in 1952, then we moved to Highters Heath lane opposite Gorleston Road.

There a few photos in Barrie Genes book From Kings Heath to the Country related to the school, W H Smiths in Kings Heath have the books I believe, there are 2 copies.
