259 is where Joseph Merrick was first "exhibited" in London. Building looks the same today.

I'd be inclined to say 1910's - WW1.
The truck has solid tyres, unfortunately it's hard to establish more, but it fits that period.
Was there any description with the picture?

Over the years this has been my favourite thread on Casebook.
Here’s a small contribution, something I’ve already posted over on JTRForums. It’s a photo of Dunbar House, a doss house at 42, West India Dock road that was taken over by Jack McCarthy in the early 1900s. It seems that at one stage the notorious ‘Squibby’ was running it for McCarthy.

Hi Christian,
I've no doubt your photographic contributions are greatly appreciated, I certainly enjoy them. The thread doesn't generate much chatter, I suppose, because they don't pose questions or some such, there's maybe not so much to discuss. Be that as it may, I'd wholeheartedly encourage you to keep putting up your findings. You've got a bit of a niche interest, but one that's undoubtedly appreciated.
(Here's a tip. Post a picture, and put "is this Mary Kelly? That'll get a response)
As for your tatty old books, no one wants to see them. I'll help you declutter. Offers there.
