30's looks about right to me:

I think this is a Leyland Badger, first introduced in 1929. This is an early model because by 1935 the style of the cab had changed to a square side window as seen in this image

 Did they do 6x4 Badgers? Could GG be a Glasgow reg?

Thank you to both japeflakes and Andy J2002 for your replies.
It gives me a rough timeline.
Cheers

Could GG be a Glasgow reg?

Yes - see https://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/registrations/gg.htm

It was in use from Jun 1930 to Feb 1933, but that will only define the "not earlier than" for the photo. Assuming the numbers were issued consecutively from 1 to 9999, this one (7200) is likely to have been issued some time in 1932.

If it's important to you, you may be able to get details of the original registration from the Kithead Trust:

It wasn't taken during WW2 - the headlights would have had blackout cowls, and until about 1948 films were unavailable in the shops for amateur photographers. 

But I remember seeing a lorry like this, with the round cabside opening, delivering to a nearby shop in Lancashire, in the 1940s after the War.
