I'm okay at the moment. I have an adblocker running though.

They were in Steelhouse Lane in 1954. Probably moved due to demolition scheme in early 60s.

I worked at Coventry Rd garage 1968-1973 firstly as a conductor then as a driver. They only had Daimler Fleetline CRG6 buses when I came out driving but they were still two man operated. I drove both garage routes 53 - 54 Stechford & 58 - 60 Boundry (nicknamed "the monkeys" by Stechford crews)...

Hi Lyn, yes, subject closed but, I've noticed that my post on this very topic is #10 on this thread and also #471 on the Icknield St thread. Is it okay just to leave it? Also, I wrote a post on my Bundy Clock experience, thinking it was on this thread but, it's #478 on the Icknield thread. I...

Well done Lyn. Sorted.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to yooo

I went to the Central Library and found this photo in the Wolfson Centre. I have to say, I'm pleased that my made up image #45 is so much like the real thing. In 1967 I lived at No9 which is next to the factory and that is my Ford 100E car parked outside. What a find!

No, I was only 6yrs old when I lived there.

Hi Radiorails, the text says otherwise. The one photo says Icknield Square & Leach St is in the background which suggests that the bus is heading for Spring Hill. The other photo mentions the Post Office which suggests that a bus would be heading for Hagley Rd. You have to CHECK THE MAP. Unless...

Apologies if I am continuing this debate on too long. I must agree with with Radiorails in that having a clock at Monument Rd station and Icknield St (a matter of about three stops) is too close. The text on these two photos suggests that there are two clocks opposite each other on the Monument...

The book I have is this one Unfortunately, the photo is no clearer in the book. Also, this is a photo of the Volcano cafe which was on the other corner of Hingestion St. Incidently, when I first came to Birmingham in 1952, I lived in the flat above the valeting shop, next door to that cafe.

Hi Tuppenny Rice, here is the text to that photo which mentions Sydney.

Apologies Radiorails, I've just looked up the Inner circle book and you are right about the direction of the No8 bus and the Bundy clock on Monument Rd railway bridge. Do you know if there was a clock on the opposite side (anti clockwise).

Hi Radiorails, as you say, there was a Bundy clock on the anti clockwise route at the Monument Rd railway bridge, but that is the opposite way to the previous photos of the clockwise bus outside the cafe. Was there a Bundy clock on both sides of Monument Rd?
