I'm still not exactly sure where the camera was, exactly.

I'm thinking outside Avis ?

On the old level crossing, the spur line that ran down alongside Clayton road, to the B.E.T. connecting to the main line, just beyond the coal wharfs and goods yards, and Hayes station, :) ;)

I notice, almost everybody is looking at the child on the bike. Would there have been children's bikes at that time?
