Despite all my efforts, I have no idea where we are, but as the following images in the collection are from Collyhurst, I am guessing that we are on the north side of the city.
Now, there will be those who question the significance of the image, given the absence of a location and a pretty mundane set of buildings.
But that is the point.
The workshop, and the terraced houses which were once common, have mostly vanished, along with the bus stop.
Neither of the two posters offer up clues. One is for British Road Services, and the other advertising the film A Man for All Seasons, might just have listed a local picture house, but instead was showing at the New Oxford in the city centre.
So that is it.
Other than to say I like the picture.

Looks like Collyhurst Road to me: https://images.manchester.gov.uk/web/objects/common/webmedia.php?irn=36165&reftable=ecatalogue&refirn=32017
