Whats just as interesting is as far as I know many of those allover advertisements were painted on to the bus, no fancy vinyl graphics.

David i'm glad its not only me having trouble placing the Quinton terminus on modern maps, in fact I have been looking for a while in sheer frustration at Google maps trying to pinpoint where the former terminus of the 9 was, my intention was to drop by there on my last visit to take a photo. The 9 had been extended to Stourbridge by the time I first visited Brum.

Hello Bob: Does your clock look like the one in this link. I have a similar one in my kitchen. Ours came from a railway station waiting room in Scotland
years ago. It was on a special station clock system and doesn't have the box on the back. There are two holes underneath the clock face where the wires came down to connect to the electric system on the station. Sadly, the face on our clock was in awful shape but my husband did an excellent restoration job on it and you would never know the difference. He is a graphic designer and that helped. The one on this site is worth 750 pounds...amazing.
A great piece of transport memerabilia for you Bob. https://www.sellingantiques.co.uk/antiquedetail.asp?autonumber=163990
Yes. The very same. I had mine overhauled about 20 years ago, it's due for another on soon I should think.
In side entrance to the Art gallery/museum in Congreve street until recently there was an exact copy of this clock except for one thing, it was about 5 feet in diameter. It hung from the ceiling. Swinden and Co were in temple Row.
