This picture indicates it is Eltham Church, note the building on the right windows and the sign for fireplaces, also the 'Garage' sign.

Apparently the side panels were too small to display the "final week" of the tram posters.

Here are more photos of the #46 on its route.

Hello, I could confirm that the pix is definetly not Rushey Green for two reasons:
1. no 46 did not run through Catford and
2. It would appear that the power supply is from overhead cables and the tracks running through Catford the pickup for power was though the plough under the tracks that terminated at the top of Downham Way where a conversion to overhead system took place .
A very interesting conversion from underground to overhead pickup for small boys, as myself, to watch back in the 1930's.
