Looking at the small boy at the back with his coat open showing a sort of jersey with striped tie
I would say 1930`s but that article of clothing was worn when I was at primary school in the 1940`s. It was a grey harsh knitted garment with a striped  knitted tie combined.Look at any school photo of those years and many boys wore them --they may even have been a wartime " utility" garment in which case 1940`s
what a lovely photo, I have one of a Wall`s Ice Cream seller--full size! where the cart is attached to a tricycle " Stop Me And Buy One "  Viktoria.

Is it true that a well known contraceptive manufacturer  turned that slogan around to promote their products?    "Buy me and Stop one"

Thanks Jan
And there was me thinging it was home made.  As a yound lad growing up in the village I do remember having my sword and shield for St. David's Day made by a local carpenter as did many of my friends and I simple thought the young girl had her cart made the same way.  Just goes to show things are not always as one would imagine.

Thank you again for sharing the link

  Talking about the icecream man, Can anyone  remember seeing an old man coming around with a cart every so often to sharpen your knifes and scissors with a round  grinding stone, He did them in the street  while you waited, I  can  also remember some one in James  street selling faggots and peas  , They were great,better than all rubbish the kids eat now,I was only a young lad but i can remember,Good days i think so.

The jersey is called a jerkin & the wearer went on to form Simply Red.
