It is the Green Man, 140/141 Summer Lane. In the 1903 Kellys , John Shaw is at Green Man & W Tennant, incandescent gas mantle dealer is at 139 . Neither are there in 1900 edition. Both continue in Kellys till 1921 edition, but John Shaw leaves (according to electoral rolls) between 1922 & 1925. William Tennant continues till later. Therefore photo was taken between 1900 and 1924

At the risk of starting another "No. 8 bus location" thread, I have always been intrigued by the location of this Bill Dargue photo titled "an alley near Aston Cross". After a bit of map checking involving the width of the alley and the angle of the houses in the distance I would like to suggest this could be the location.

That alley way seems a little uneven, I don't know whether it would assist someone drunk or not.

For sure you would not get a no.8 bus down there.

In its own way its as fascinating as those you find in a mediterranean country, no sign of any flowers though
