A Happy Birthday to you.
It's looking like that photo probably is sometime around 58-59, as Richie guessed earlier.
Is someone trying to date it more accurately? I'm guessing by the general gloom and the fur coat the woman at the bottom left hand is wearing, it's probably not summer.
It's funny but that photo really does remind me of my early childhood in the late 50's, everywhere seeming to be always incredibly busy with traffic and pedestrian packed streets and simply loads of shops, and not just in the immediate centre. It was what I would call a real city back then and a visit into town with my Dad was always slightly bewildering yet also magical, always new things to see.
Contrasting it with that picture of Whitechapel today, there's some difference.
Tsar Kastik:
Cheers Gulley - they put years on you mate.
The date? no it was just curiosity that was started by a discussion about that fur coat - very evocative of a certain age to me.

Sorry to go back a bit but the planes were usually unloaded at
Gladstone and pulled past the Pier Head down to Standard
Triumph car factory at Speke where they were de-greased
from shipping and put together.
Taken across to the airport for testing before being flown out
and into service.
Usually flown out by ATA women who could fly anything from
Spitfires up to 4 engine heavy bombers by themselves,
brave ladies.

Remember BR Ayers garage on Rose Lane which became Kascades pub, then The Gladstone, now LA Fitness
Tsar Kastik:
B R Ayers was there in 1935 when this was taken - from just about the same spot
