Where is it Lyn? The only cafe I can fing in villa road, around that tim e or a bit before, is the Villa Cafe at no 97, but that was on the coner of Nursery Road , with a road to the left of the building and no alley or road (where car is) to the right

Yes Lyn, i had forgottoen the other picture. It was 160. Was confused by the "Teas" sign It seems to have been listed as just a shop back to 1932, adn in 1921 it was a beer retailer (off licence presumably)
