I will put you out of your misery before you go to bed. Its Nechells Place outside Saltley Gasworks.

The interesting thing to me of course is the bus itself, which I believe is running the Inner Circle.
I don't ever recall many MOF Guys running this route, although Hockley had a batch of Daimler MOF's in the 3160s-3170s.
Any idea of the date??
 
OK, OK, I did say it wouldn't run for long. I think anywhere along the No.8 route is too easy! It is indeed Nechells Place alongside the gasworks. Extra interest here is the roofless Temple of Convenience on the left there, and much used by busmen. Note too the destination number, a warning to the conductor for slovenly work from the next gaffer (inspector) to see it. (could be a booking if it was a regular practice by conductor concerned).
 
Mike perhaps the conductor was desperate to use the said convenience.
