Taken from the rear toilets of the row of houses on Talbot Street looking south of the corner of the Fownes Factory. This factory building now faced directly onto the City Walls Road

White building may have been in use by Oliver's. See Neg_Wallet-03_17 which shows a sign on this building reading "...LIVER ... LTD" (to the right and behind St. Paul's School).

Victoria Place is north of London Rd running from opposite Battenhall Rd to Fort Royal Hill.
The two houses to the left are still there, but the block saying "Victoria Place" and the other houses have gone.
The design of the building would suggest that Sleeve-05 12 & 13 are the same location, perhaps a front face as they seem more elaborate.

No. 50: Kelly's 1930 directory entry is "Turk’s Head P.H. Frank Darke". The 25 inch OS Map Worcestershire XXXIII.8, Revised: 1926, Published: 1928 marks it as a P.H. and in the photo there is a bracket for a pub sign or similar.

The Midland Red phone number changed to "Worcester 23296" at some point before October 1961, and at about the same time the sign above the window was replaced by the wheel style one seen in other photographs on this website. The original telephone number for the Midland Red office in Angel Place was listed as "649 Worcester" in the February 1925 timetable (there was no mention of the office in the August 1924 timetable, or any previous).

To answer the question in the description... Midland Red Service W28 ran between the City Centre and Ronkswood, terminating at Ripon Road. It was a high frequency service running every 7 or 8 minutes during the busy times of the day. However, it didn't depart from Angel Street, but from Sansome Street during the 1950s, and then from Trinity from c.1960. The bus is likely not in service when the photo was used, maybe the crew were using the staff rest room above the nearby Midland Red Travel Shop? The bus, reg number UHA347, was a BMMO S14 built by Midland Red at their factory at Edgbaston, Birmingham, during early 1956. It entered service at Worcester depot in March 1956 and remained in service there until November 1967, when it was sold to a company in Pershore for use as a private staff bus.
