Possible. Here are the A70 and Austin 8 together. I suggested the A70 because we used to have one and it looks slightly bigger than the Austin8. Without seeing the rest of it we may never know

No it's not Chicago that is Fig Tree Lane. XM657 any thoughts on that car?

I was almost convinced it was the Austin 8, the number plate is the original picture is below the bumper like the A 70 but the back wings don't look like the A 70. I think it's an Austin 8 (whatever one of those is).

I'll go with Eddie's A70, the rear window and low level number plate convinced me

I'll go pre 1949 Ford Anglia, there was a van version with the spare wheel on the running board

Reckon it might be an Anglia but later model, 1953

Definitely not Blake Street. Boyce street runs off to the right a third of the way down and there isn’t a road there. Although I’m not 100% sure it looks like Tennyson Road off Burgoyne Road. I moved there in the early 80s just before the derelict shops and houses at the top and bottom were knocked down. Was a right shithole at the time. Parents still live there. Ironically it looks like it was taken from the top of Blake Street looking down Harold Street. The houses there were already knocked down (bulldozed in the pic) and rebuilt when I moved there

Big Humber on left? AVL 698, two door, no opening boot, one rear light or is it the petrol cap, so no rear lights looks like 1949-53 ford, ain't got a clue.

Wow, memories. Was on the Kop that day and expected a bit of a tonking. Next away game, I think, was Burnley who were also near the top and we won that too. Ended up in Burnley nick , but not charged, after some shenanigans after the game. Still relegated on the last day of the season.

Pond St, another existential gem SEB.
I'm guessing Sunday late morning, young lady on her way home from church in her Sunday best. Intriguing situation far left group of people gathered but for what reason?
Lyceum Hotel, nice little boozer, went in occasionally Sunday early evenings waiting for my pick up when living out of Sheffield,1961.
Whites motor Services building was later used by SUT. SUT was formally United Motor Services, UMS, could it be WMS became part of UMS?

Rowley, not Harris, sold Carlin to Derby.
