I think most of the replies are almost right. I reckon the pic was taken from the flat roof of Perry Common Lobrary, opened in 1933, and the bus stop is the one which is still there, near5est the Crossways and Hawthorn Road. We lived about 100 yards from there, as the crow flies, but it was a good 400 yards on foot). I had very nearly the same profile of the mortuary chapel from my bedroom.
By the late 1930s a single row of council houses had been built fronting on to the far side of the College Road, but the allotments behind lasted for another 40 years or so.

First again with the right answer, College Road Perry Common is the title I have on the photo, To the other ones with the correct answer well done as well. A special well done to Jean for putting you all on the right track.
