A familiar view. The bus appears to be a British 'Tilling-Stevens' with centre access for passengers. The curved flash on the body is unusual. The yard opposite has a tower structure that look like it is a fire brigade hose drying tower. The fire brigade building is bottom right and still there today as a 'Shanghai Tang' shop complete with some fire brigade implents on display showing its heritage.
