Following on from IOTW no.643 here is another Birmingham postcard image, this one taken in Tyburn Road and forwarded to the Network once again by Mike Tebbett. (Thank you, Mike.) OC 3315 is a 1933 or ’34 season Morris long wheelbase Saloon. The car has certainly seen better days, the likelihood being that this photo was taken in the years immediately following WWII if the signage and clothing fashions are anything to go by. The city’s early tram network closed in 1953, so this image pre-dates that time. Parking that close to a roundabout on a busy main road would prompt a very speedy response from the constabulary, should anyone be foolish enough to do that today.
