1937 (Irwin RUSSELL'S)? GARAGE Coronation celebration 20 Dove Lane, Bristol

[001uk]

Hello!

Any ideas please as to the location of this

1937 Coronation street scene celebration with RUSSELL GARAGE ?

No doubting the date of this unlocated view! Inscription reads: "Coronation of King George VI, May 12. 1937. Fear GOD.......". Street scene, on slight incline, with row of terraced Georgian properties. On the right is long building with corrugated iron roofing on which is a sign reading: "RUSSELL GARAGE". Includes Car Hire, Light Vans. Other words I can't make out.

Having looked again there appears to be a smaller "s" after RUSSELL making the garage RUSSELL'S GARAGE


Anyone agree?!

There was a RUSSELL'S GARAGE in Dove Lane, Newfoundland Road, BRISTOL.

✔ CONFIRMED! Irwin RUSSELL 20 Dove Lane, BRISTOL

With thanks to everyone for their help~001uk

Thanks Roger.
Took a Street View look and don't think it's Chatham.Medway St has by the look of it had some redevelopment but it looks too "Towny" whereas my photo looks more of a residential area......Hope the flu jab was in the right area.

Whitby?

Thanks Jamjar.
Took a Street View look and I'm afraid I couldn't see any matching buildings.Also the Whitby business was Russell Brothers which I think would have been on my photo's building.

There was one in Bexhill too....

ShaunJ thank you. It's a VERY long road! and an A road at that. My photo is more (I think) a back street, but I'll take a closer Street View look.

Couldn't find Violet St but did find Wm Russell at Tynemouth Place but like the Leek location didn't find similar buildings but stand corrected!

Thanks.
