Not sure on the pub but the Ford on the right looks to be a popular or prefect model from the late 1940s.

I have been looking through my old directories, not mentioned specifically in Jack Pengelly as to closure date, but clues may be obtained througn construction of the new building of Nr 109. F W Woolworths was 106 up to 108.
