This photo shows an excellent shot of Paradise Street just before the redevelopment of West Bromwich and to be quite honest I was struggling to work out exactly where this was taken from but it has been confirmed that the photographer was standing with his back towards where the Busby's Pub is now, looking right up Paradise Street (Now, more or less where the Ringway is now).

The Bus was built in 1959 by Daimler type CVG6.30DD
