This photograph was recently discovered in Wanstead. Any clues on where and when it was taken?

Nowhere in Wanstead I can recognise. Says Park Drive on the right, but probably a brand name

Cuckfield?
I wonder if that was the shop on the corner of Chester Road and Mansfield Road?
That shop opposite the Cuckfield
Fairly certain that’s not the corner of Chester & Mansfield Roads. I live in Chester Rd and have just been out to compare the building (now the ekectrical contractors office) with the picture and it doesn’t seem to fit with distance from the road.
It’s not corner of Mansfield Road and Chester Road, but might be corners of the roads were Gardner Close is now I think there was Hall Road and Tilney Road, as there was a Bakery on the corner of Mansfield Road and what was then George Lane
This is the former Grove Dairy, now the bazaar opposite the Cuckfield https://www.flickr.com/photos/30074137@N03/3298359922/in/pool-66721452@N00/
Looks a bit like the antique shop on corner Victoria road in south woodford
If you follow the one way system round after viaduct?
And of course there is a Park Road off Aldersbrook road
Corner shop near Lillies of wanstead?
Think that’s 30s …
I lived in Mansfield road -Not Mansfield road for sure -that was a dairy -the horse was stabled behind .
There was a corner shop on corner of Chester and Camden but it only had a window at front .
The shop opposite the cuckfield was the united dairy
I think it looks more like Leytonstone, the roads parallel to Grove Green Road?
Love all this detective work!! So it’s likely to be between 58 and 73 if we go by the ice-cream. It’s not the shop opposite the Cuckfield as the one in the picture is single storey. I’m wondering about Mansfield road too. And it’s a warm day because the windows are open
It looks like to corner shop on Camden Road. Camden road was next to Oakhall court on Eastern Avenue. I think it was called Maynards…used to go there as a child
