Where is This? 47

Gone, but not forgotten.
Right then all you tram, train and bus buffs, at what junction on what road is the tram pictured just passing.

Bogie trams were in the minority on the Dudley Road, and rarely got beyond Grove Lane or, at a pinch Bearwood. The Corporation ran the four-wheeler oldest cars with open balconies (lovely) through Smethwick, Oldbury and Dudley.
Your picture is on the Dudley Road looking towards Town, with the double track connection on the right leading into Icknield Port Road, where it singled and was used as the terminus for the 33 trams from Navigation Street via Five Ways.
Not seen that picture before - any idea who took it, Phil?

Spot on,

I'm sorry but I have no idea of the photographer. It came from a book
that I no longer have. I probably gave it away or lent it to somebody. i'm posting a copy of the original scan.

Have just realised there's a picture taken from the identical position on 12th april 1939 in "Birmingham in the age of the tram. And I was only looking at it a week ago!! (No I'm not really a tram buff, just interested)
