There's also a 1960 street directory on the same website, for that address in Sunbury Avenue it shows the same distinctive name as for the 1951 street directory ...

http://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/images/1960BSD/1960strs%200369.jpg

... so you can reasonably surmise that the 1956 directory would have shown the same.
