Thank you, I have seen that and plan to print it. The information that was posted further down the thread provided a bit more info which lead me to this thread too.hi faye i have already posted you a photo of the shop on the busby bric a brac thread

I believe the shop was 267I'm assuming it is no. 207. If so there is photo of The Royal Mint which was no. 200, so not great but 207 is probably visible further down on the same side. The photo is here...
Location wanted for this bus if possible
As an aside, on the attached picture I wonder if the scaffolding was in place around St Luke's to remove the bell tower as mentioned in post #185?. Johnbirminghamhistory.co.uk
I don’t know.The snippet of a directory posted above shows a Hy Bateman at 207. Is that the wrong one then?
