Hagley Road

Looks about 1900/1910 to me judging by the cab driver's boater (left) and the clothes of the lady pushing the bike. Surprising to see sheep being driven through there given how busy it must have been by that time. Can imagine a stray sheep or two making a run for it ! Wondered if they were being herded to Smithfield for slaughter.
 
“The directors of the Birmingham Motor Express Company are making arrangements to put an improved service on the Hagley-read route, by providing new double-decker motor omnibuses with a seating capacity of 32 passengers each.”
(The Engineer, Dec 1903)
