Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Cathles, Cathles Everywhere
Remember John Cathles Hill; he who built up the Gardens area, Grand Parade and the Salisbury?
In addition to his building and brick making businesses, Cathles Hill was also in business with his cousin, William Cathles. One of the ventures they co-owned was an off-licence at 348 High Road, Wood Green, pictured above.
A picture of William Cathles has been added in the comments below.

100% that's a Renault Dauphine. Not the best of vehicles, even in its day. I remember replacing a clutch in one around 1970, which involved removing the entire rear end, wheels and all. The earlier contribution from StephenBin was referring to the original minicabs operated by Welbeck Motors. There's even a book about them available from here https://stephendinebooks.com/product/minicab/ So that at least puts the picture 1958 or later.

Thanks Hugh, a great memory I used to daringly call in there in the late sixties for a bottle of brown ale to share with my friend John Goldsmith who lived at 139 Lyndhurst Road. I'm old enough to buy it now, and indeed still occasionally enjoy a brown ale. Was it forest brown then?
