This looks like a parade, likely c1914-1918. There's a building in the background. A pub ? Or army offices ? Maybe someone recognises it.

Trying to pin a date. Charles W Selby

that turns out to be a "Provident" agent as he is on 1911 census

By 1915 he is listed as a photographer at 434 Alum Rock Road

If it is in the locality of St.Marks church maybe I could manage a guess that location of the church parade would be where the job centre is now. On that side of Washwood Heath Road there have been many new buildings put up in recent years. The parade would have been held in a place that was open ground plus trees and likely close to the church.
Just my conjecture, of course.
 
I came to the same conclusion
I went along Highfield Road on streetview and by the job centre seemed to give a similar view of the spire.
Difficult as angle not quite the same
