This photo is labelled tobacconist in Weaman Street c1930. It is obviously not a tobacconists ! 22 Weaman Street up till at least 1921 was a gun parts manufactory. By 1932 it was a fruiterers run by Mrs Mabel Harris, who in 1937-1940 just described herself as a shopkeeper. The shop then disappeared from directories but by 1947 was occupied by a Turf Commision agent (Bookie). Mabel is listed there in the electoral rolls from 1927, so she already wes there in 19217 and possibly started off the establishment as a cafe. This sort of date would agree with the "c1920s" and the .clothing.
