Here is a photograph of the area. The Cafe is on the corner of Cleveland Street and Lower Feversham Street.

The building with the upper wall painted white (advert) is on the corner of James Street.

The entrance to Medici's Yard would be around the rear of the van.

Edit - I bought sandwiches from that Cafe just before it was pulled down. I had a nosey around those two yards as well (kid like  ::)   ;D  )

The cafe was called Blomqvist's and did a house speciality of a minced sausage and onion with mixed herbs in a bap, brilliant, the entry to the Cleveland Cottages is just about where the van is, on the far side of the entry was the General dealer/Grocer shop of Mr. Henry and next was Griersons the butcher who moved to Wilson St. when St Hilda's was beginning to be redeveloped.
Redeveloped did I say, that's a laugh, three times the area was razed and rebuilt since the 1960s and still they couldn't get it right and still it is a wasteland.
