Maybe Wellington Street?

Dear Herostratus, 

Thank you for your quick reply and for the suggestion. However, bij comparing other photographs of Wellington street around 1950, I think that that street is a bit wider?

Greetings.  It is nice to see again the same kind of grocery bag (lower right foreground)  I used at the Poplar Street market.  Like work tools, the feel of its handles in your hand stays with your memory.  If you did not have a bag, a seller would make a paper bag using newspaper prints and wrap-tie it with grass string.  Regards, Peter
