Delivery Cart for Bambridge's Bakery, Harringay, c1905

Comment by John Shulver on Saturday

The board behind the horse possibly reads "Saloon.......???, "  I immediately thought it read 'Salon' (as in  'Bal') but on closer inspection it looks like double o.  But then the building frontage looks nothing like the Salon Bal on Salisbury Parade that we knew.  Was there an earlier building on that site Hugh ?  I remember collecting hot fresh loaves of bread and hot cross buns from somewhere in vicinity of bottom of Beresford in the '50s.  Wouldn't have a clue to name though.

My assumption is that the cart was parked along the side of a pub. There’s a bit of a road name sign above the horse’s back, but not enough to work out what it says. I can’t place it as being at the Railway, Beaconsfield,Queen’s Head, Unwin Arms or Salisbury.

Maybe there is an AI tool that can match the brickwork, chimney, water pipes etc with images of Google Street View Hugh?

Good thought. There may well be, but my go-to resource on this has recently become HoL member Les G who has twice recently succeeded on similar tasks where I have failed. I’ve dropped him a note.

Could this be the side view of the Ranelagh on Bounds Green Road?

Comment by Les G yesterday

It's a very close match Peter. The side road is Warwick Rd - №2. Everything looks spot on!

If you gentlemen are up for a challenge, here is another mystery photo, the location of which I’ve never got close to.
