Here, you can just make out the Austin sign which was on a brick-built tower supporting a water tank, and which was part of the original White & Pike printing works taken over by Herbert Austin when he started his motor company in 1905. |

The position of this tram indicates that it's a number 71 travelling from Rubery to the city centre. |
