Bacchus road

Here is a photo of people celebrating a coronation in Bacchus Road, presumably, from the clothiing, the coronation in 1953. Above the door on the building to the left of the shop is the name H. Whitney. In pre-WW2 electoral rolls at no 107 Bacchus Road is Henry James Whitney, with wife Mabel, but with them living at Gramere Road. In the 1955 kellys at 106 (to the right of 107) is Henry Bailey , tobacconist. So I believe this is photo of celebrations in 1953 outside 106 Bacchus Road.
