If I recall correctly S.U.service dept was at the Kingsbury Road end of Wood Lane right where the Showcase cinema is now.I use to pop my car in there at times when I was working in Ashold Farm road in the late 70's and 80's.

I can remember the trams at Cotteridge. It was a number 36 to town and back and the terminus was Pershore Road in Cotteridge outside the depot ( garage ) now housing. As John Knight says the bus is the 18 and runs along Bunbury Road then branches left into Northfield Road at the junction of...
