These are my Salzer family, outside a bakers (great grandad was Martin Salzer, a master baker).
In the 1920's they were lived in Carlton Road/Street in Camden, and I get an idea this is their shop there.
Can anyone read the shop sign? 232?
In any case, when do you think this photo was taken?
Going left to right, starting with the lady with the X drawn on.
Hilda born Salzer 1904,
Martin Jnr (I think) b 1890
Martin Snr b1859
The next 2, not sure, but one could be William b1898
The child in arms could be Jacky (boy b1924) or Audrey b1922
What do you all make of it?
-
About 1928

Love that the dog is standing up, holding hands!

..........and Confectioner? 2(?) 33

That dog is Martin Jnrs dog

..........and Confectioner? 2(?) 33
yeah it could well say Confectioner, especially looking at the window

Early 20's I would suggest. The chap on the right has short narrow leg trousers which were a popular style throughout the teen years but went out of fashion in the 20's.
I can't see anything in front of the 3. I think what you're seeing is just part of the fancy writing.
The shop was opposite Gilbey's which doesn't help.

I think that reflection on the window at the right of the photo is an advertisement for 'Gilbey's Invalid Port', so doesn't help with location unfortunately.

I really should look at the photo - I never even noticed the reflection!
If this is early 20's then this must be in the Carlton Road area in Camden. If the number starts with 3*, not 23*, then it more likely the south end of what is now Grafton Road (maybe!)

I don't know if it's the way the photo was taken but the shop looks like it's on a corner.

According to the electoral roll of 1922, Martin and Georgina Salzer were at 108 Carlton Street.
In 1924, Harriet, Katherine and William Brown were living at 32 Carlton Road and Ellen, Joseph and Joseph Carolan were at 32 Carlton Street.

It has been many years since I posted this question. Today, I believe I have the answer! The Salzers indeed lived at 108 Carlton Street, on the corner of Gilden Road (formally Hanover Street).
The next 'block' to the West had a pub on one corner of Gilden Road and Carlton Road. The other corner of that block was 33 Gilden Road with an andled doorway. I'm concluding that this was the shop I asked about :)

It’s been years, but I must have enabled notifications though I didn’t contribute to the thread. Well done for finding the address after all these years. It just goes to show that oersistance and revisiting old queries, can be worthwhile. A good result. :)
