Are you sure this is Wood Green Keevans??? The Keevans I used in Wood Green was a corner building.

Good point!  I wonder if the b&w photo is Crouch End???

Much older picture, With Keevans just behind the tram and the Alexandra Pub on the left.

I linked to that trolley bus photo in my caption. The buildings look the same to me. Compare the ground floor of the building shown in the trolley bus photo with the main photo. They look the same. You can even just about discern the curvature of the first floor window in that main photo.  Also, the give-away for me is the fact that this architects advertising card says beneath the photo that the shop is in Wood Green.

I went to Finchley Grammar (1961-1969), and my parents found the shop very expensive.  The Manager had bad breath and was very keen on taking inside leg measurements! I had only 2 blazers and caps, which started XXL and ended XXS.  I imagine others shared this experience.
