To the left of the tram a Maples store delivery horse and cart. I don't know if they are still going but I used deliver to them in the 1970's

Splendid photo. I remember seeing a rag and bone man’s horse and cart in Stroud Green Road in the late ‘60s or early ‘70s, but there was never so much horse dung as in this photo.

Was the building on the other side of Stroud Green Road from what is now The Twelve Pins another pub (since it’s advertising Whitbread’s Beer)? I wonder what it was called.

Are the several huge iron posts for holding the electrical lines for the trams (or trolley buses)?

Well spotted. The premises on the west side at the corner of Stroud Green Road was Thomas Dunford, wine, spirirt and beer merchant, 261 Seven Sister's Road. The advert below from the Hornsey & Finsbury Park Journal on 20 May 1910 shows him listed as a supplier of Bushmill's Whiskey.

No good photos, but it's just in shot in this photo of the terrace at the end of Stroud Green Road and this one of Seven Sisters Road. This post features a story of the building falling down soon after it was first built.
