The old man, seen Lambeth Walking at the top of one of the side-streets is a Lambeth institution. He is popular in the Walk, and there are usually a few to give him pennies. Taken from 'Life in the Lambeth Walk' Article.

This street is Wake street and the building at the far end is lollard street school which was firebombed in the 2nd world war and totally destroyed .Later in the late 50s the site became the 1st adventure playground in the u.k.Sadly nothing remains of Wake st, but i believe Lollard adventure Playground celebrated its 50th year in 2005.

Very interesting Photo with lots of detail.The street appears to be 'tarmac' which to an old Wiganer seems unusual as all the Wigan back streets were cobbled right up to the 1950's and later.
