A very rough guess would be Stoney Lane Smethwick in the hope of eliciting a clue. Would the location have anything to do with what they are wearing in their buttonholes and the bottle of Chianti? the chap in the middle is holding.

Somewhere around here?
Are you sure you weren't named after a local road Mike; one in this area?

 

[Mike Shakespeare]

Resurrecting an old one perhaps, but it's post-WW2, the 'coach' is a wartime utility Bedford OWB bus like this one.
