Thank you so much to Rich, and Peter/Steve/Keith, for this thread.
The reason being: Mr Hiram Cheetham is my Great Grandfather and I linked into this thread having searched the photo on line. It is brilliant to know where his store was exactly from this thread.
His daughter Claire was born around the turn of the 20th Century in Darnall. She married my grandfather and their son Nigel, my late father, was born in 1935. My father was brought up with his three siblings at the top of City Road in a terraced house knocked down 20-30 years ago right next to the police station opposite the shops close to the roundabout. Any pictures anyone has of that house would be massively appreciated!
Back to the shop. You can see the same lamp-post and telegraph pole in the original picture of my Great Grandfather also in the longer shot in the last link. It is definitely the same location as stated. I assume the original picture of my Grandfather was approx 1885 before the 'Oxo' building was built according to the map reference of 1893 when he was 25-30. The longer shot must be after the electric trams arrived so early 1900s (?) and the building is still there. The rounded Penny Bank building is absolutely typical of mid-war and survives to the current day.
Now a question assuming Hiram Cheetham was a Greengrocer. So why three shovels outside his shop? Did the electric trams replace horse-drawn carriages that started a route at this intersection at the end of the 19th Century. Thus were the shovels there to be used for what shovels are famous for?
