Thanks Ray for posting that super photo of the Station Street entrance. So Billy Cotton was on at the Hippodrome and that notice 'Commit No Nuisances' covers everything !Hi Folks.

Noting the tram/trolley bus overhead wires suggests to me that this is Station Street. The dirty state and rusted parts of the request bus stop suggests that it is not long after railway nationalization - the backlog of repairs and renewals were still very much in evidence for a couple of years or so after the end of WW2 (1946) and the very clean British Railways signage suggest it was not too long past when it was done. It would soon have gotten grimy in that busy part of the town.Hi Folks.

Hello Eddie,Just as I remembered the entrance in Queensway, when I left 'Brum' in the fifties. The entrance, where the man with the cap is standing, was to the over bridge that ran through New Street station, the other end coming out into New Street. A dark and very smoky bridge to walk along, with the station platforms beneath the bridge, and the platform entrances leading off the bridge. which was all covered in. The photograph would be 50/60's, because that was when Billy Cotton was in his prime, with his radio show, and Alan Breeze was his singer. If I had to be more accurate, I would suggest late 50's.
Definitely not 1920's.

I do not think it was Queens Drive because, if my memory serves me correct ,no buses or trams went down Queens Drive. I am inclined to go with the Station Street suggestion,
