I think Dek is spot on it's Silk Cafe after they moved to Great Lister St. You should ask Ernie he will tell you all about this cafe. I can't see the bookie's runner anywhere though.

The cafe had gone from my mind. What stuck out for me was the high wall at the back and the old houses up the side they always looked grim i was just waiting for a V.and D. man to come on and put me right thanks Phil. Dek

 

[Phil]

I tell you what stands out the most in that photo for me, and that is how clean the streets were. There is a marked difference in the street of the so called slum areas of today.

When was the last time you saw anybody sweeping and washing down the pavement in front of a house. Or treating the front step to a coat of Red Cardinal Polish?

Your so right Phil people had pride in their door step and pavement outside their house. these days they would rather live in squaller, dumping rubbish anywhere for somebody else to clear than take it to the tip.Dek
