This photograph is captioned Albury Road, Rotherhithe, but such a name isn’t in the old A to Z. I suspect this is Albury Street, in Deptford. The eighteenth century terrace on one side of the road remains intact; its counterpart opposite was criminally torn down in the 1960s.

Put “19 Albury St, Rotherhithe, London” into google maps and you can see the same doorway of the house the little girl is stood in. Only #19 has the same cherubs on the door frame in the whole st.
