Summary

[edit]
Description

This is the clock at the junction with Vyse Street, Warstone Lane and Frederick Street.

There were loads of cars going around it, so had to wait for them to pass.

It is Grade II listed and dates from 1903. It commemorates the visit of Joseph Chamberlain to South Africa when Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Didn't intend to get this no 101 bus to Handsworth in this shot. But it looks ok. The 101 goes to Handsworth, via Jewellery Quarter and Winston Green.

The bus is no 2985.

I believe that it is a MCW Metrobus. Haven't seen one of these in ages, since a lot have been withdrawn (have been waiting for these old buses to be retired). They lasted for ages.

At the time I mainly went to the Jewellery Quarter to get shots of the Chamberlain clock, so that bus (and cars) got in the way.
