They thought the photographer had gone so peeped out just as he removed the lens cover and they were caught in an old street pic. Looks like they had house plants in their window which is in Court 19 Lancaster St as someone had helpfully painted on the barrel.

AH! Those old peeking blinders! The chalked court number had probably been put there by the photographer. I think it was Cadburys that arranged for photographs of "slums" (to the residents they were little palaces) to be taken during the clearances. To identify the location the photographer would chalk the court number or road on a wall near to the camera, in this case he seems to have used the barrel. Anyone got any other ideas?
