WMPTE 195H, Bridge Street, Wednesbury

            The driver of 195H checks his off-side mirror as he pulls out into traffic from Lower High Street onto Bridge Street, Wednesbury. 

I have to guess that the bus is operating a short-working of the 75/79 service as far as the Hawthorns, or possibly a football special. 

Behind 195H, operating the 75 service from Wednesbury to  Birmingham is another ex West Bromwich bus, one of the ECW bodied low-height Fleetlines of the 115-121 batch,    

Today the road junction still exists, but the buildings seen here have long been swept away; a traffic island now makes the junction much safer for traffic to negotiate. 

The 35mm slide from which this is scanned is undated, but to put a date on it I would suggest late 1974, early 1975. The trees are bare, so winter time. 195H was withdrawn from use in December 1975.
