1930s? London railway bridge

[geogphotos]

 

No 40 tram/trolleybus service to Cricklewood , Underground station on the right under the bridge, looks like a park on immediate left and pub next door

 

Somebody on Alamy might know this

 

It has been colourised

my best guess, from the orientation of the road, railway and the shadows is somewhere on the A5 Kilburn High Road.

this scene looks similar,

and The London Tavern is just through the bridge on the left.

 

...i'm not entirely convinced though and someone with local knowledge might have a better idea.

i'd guess at a 1920s Sunbeam ...although i wouldn't want to try and identify the model.

 

Is that you behind the wheel !?

From Google:

 

1) Services were provided by Metropolitan Electric Tramways (MET). From 1 July 1933 they were taken over by London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) and thereafter carried the fleet name ‘London Transport’

 

The horse and cart on the right has M.E.T written on it! So this is earlier than 1933 ( or they haven't repainted their vehicles yet!)

 

2)

Looking north from outside the car park. Nice spot. Even the finials on the railings are still there.
