Birmingham trolleybus No. 34
An old photograph (taken outside the paper mill at the bottom of Kingston Hill?), of Birmingham Corporation Tramway and Omnibus Department (Birmingham City Transport from 1937) trolleybus fleet No. 34 (registration OC1134) showing a route '94 - Coventry Road - City Boundary & Albert Street' destination blind.
The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name of S. N. J. White.
No. 34 was first in service Jan 1934 comprising a triple axle Leyland Motors TTBD2 chassis No. 3181 and a Metropolitan-Cammell series 36 body seating 58 (H33/25R). It was withdrawn from service Jun 1951, the last of the Birmingham trolleybus routes closing in the same month. The following month it was sold to Bird of Stratford where it was broken up.
On the reverse in fountain pen script and appearing to be of the same age as the photo is "94 Albert St - Bullring - Deritend - Coventry Rd - Hay Mills - Yardley - City Boundary (Sheldon)".

The original photographer may have taken copies from their original negative and passed them out (sold them?) so there may be other copies out there of your (and my) 'original' transport photo, although occasionally there may be 'holiday snaps' type photos where there are not any other photos exactly the same in existence.
