Hello Mike

I am not 100% sure but there is one Ivy cottage on Arden Road in Acocks Green.

Would it be viewed from the bowling alley Mike?. Jean.

The buildings on the left appear to be the ones with Jeffries Hardware at the end. Looking at Google Street View they haven't changed much. If I remember correctly the Midland Red buses used to stop by the seat that's shown in the photo, whereas the Corporation buses stopped by what is now the library.

I presume that the area shown in the postcard is the central area of Acocks' Green as it mentions the terminus which I guess is where the tramcars terminated after their journey from the city.

Sorry Mike I posted in a rush. As said the shops to the left are still very much the same at roof level. Photo I think was with Warwick Road towards Greet ['Church Hill'?] to the Rear of the photographer and looking across 'The Green' (now the island and parking areas) up Shirley Road.

As Bernie says, Warwick Rd / Shirley Rd island, which was the tram terminus.
