Can anyone tell me where exactly this was please ? Thanks. Viv.

I assume you're probably looking for a more historic definition but here's something fairly recent from the council...

Small Heath​

New ward maps following the Local Government Boundary

 

[MWS]

Most of the older maps appear to mark the wards and place Small Heath in the north west corner of the Bordesley Ward, so you could probably work out the northern and western border of Small Heath but the southern and eastern borders would be a little more problematic. From 1831...

Bus people should be able to help somewhat, I think it says no. 15. Can't quite make out any of the shop signs to the right of the bus.

Could possibly be the Coventry Road.

I agree.... Could be the Coventry, just before the junction with Cattel Road on the right and the bus depot further down on the left.... 15 / 16 buses used to go that way to town.

I think the bus is heading into town Annie. The buildings beyond the lorry are roughly where the Woolworth store used to be.

Yes, meant to say the bus in photo is heading towards town.. and you're correct, it would have just passed Woolies on its left.

I think this photo was taken heading away from the city centre. The shop behind the bus appears to be Manny's (drapers), to the right would be ?? Sons, perhaps Bradley & Sons (butchers).

Yes...photo is is taken heading away from town and the bus heading towards town would pass Cattel Road on right and further down the Bus Depot on left..... Sorry my explanation in post 8 wasn't very clear.

Thank you all. Would never have been able to place the photo without your help. Very little left at that point of Coventry Road to help locate it. Viv.

Not sure if this helps. Left hand map is 1890s but the shops can be roughly found and compared with the right hand google earth view.
