What year would that have been taken? Were they belonging to the wholesale fruit sellers.

I think it was 1948.
My grandad was one of the Conroy brothers who were fruit merchants.When he died in about 1934 the other brothers bought his share from my grandma Minnie Conroy.Sadly I never knew my paternal grandparents as they died before I was born.

Sorry Royal Oak is on the right of course.
