I think the cul de sac you mean was Milton Crescent, which lead to Hardings bakery. In have just looked on Google and it is still there but with no name. I used to go to Hardings on a Saturday looking to help one of the drivers for the day, I also used to go to Saturday matinee at the Tivoli.

Can any of you Photoshop whizz-kids nake anything of the reflections on the side of the bus?

Yes, long gone. The Stechford baths that opened in1962 has been replaced and is now awaiting demolition.

I just Googled CVP 108 and found another photo of this bus in New Street. This doesnt help solve the puzzle. Its just another photo of the same bus. I tried to post it but got a message saying that it was too big.

Thanks for that. I googled it and found an article on the Acocks Green History Society website.

Opposite Aldi on Warwick Road, Acocks Green, is a building with an archway. On one side is Icing World, and on the other is Premier Collections. Does any one have any info, please?
