Lovely photo. Made me think of Columbia Rd so I believe it’s Ezra St.

Years ago you could buy wonderful honey in that shop.

Looking at that view, it could have been taken in the 1940s, with the cobbled road and ironwork street lights (originally gas?). A small part that escaped the mass demolition of the area after the war and is now a conservation area.
On Google Earth Street View (2009) the cafe is shown as Jones Dairy “Dairymen S Jones Provisions”. It’s interesting to see the changes since. In 2020 the Dairy is the cafe, albeit open as it's September and no restrictions.
There are also “Sunday Toilet Only” parking bays at the Ravenscroft St end of Ezra Rd. SV 2009 – 2014 shows the road markings as “Mobile Toilet Only” which makes more sense! However you do get up to 4 hours :-)

It's a cute little road that one, I particularly like the paving, brickwork and the lamppost. But it's the graffiti that really gives it character!

what is this jiggery pokery? it was a quaint old scene before, now an equally interesting but different underpass!

Campania. Nice little Italian place. Cozy in the wintertime.

First thought: DG has mastered time travel.

I'm confused. Website and feedly differ.

And now I'm more confused because they don't! Lovely atmospheric photo.

I've been switching the photo, hourly, since noon.
I've stopped switching now.

You cheeky git, DG!
I enjoyed the photo of Grove Passage. Wonderful contrasts between the dull brickwork, neon paint, and the looming green bridge overhead. Lovely!

The alleyway where Gary Sparrow would time travel from the 90s to the 40s in Goodnight Sweetheart

Lovely atmospheric pic - and the terracotta cat in front of the S&B Evans blue plaque is a delight! (You need to zoom right in to see it.)

It's my understanding that Ezra Street remains cobbled because it is so popular with film makers. I lived bang opposite in Columbia Road as a child so this view is very familiar to me.

Bah! I missed all the other photos (which explains the otherwise confusing comments!) but this is an absolute gem!
Time travel indeed!!

This is already my 3rd-most-favourited-ever photo on Flickr, which isn't bad after uploading 16000 photos in 15 years.
Atypical cobbliness really hits home, it seems.
