One of the names on the building is Hebblethwaite - that's a Cumbria/Yorkshire name.

Hi Clive,
I'm thinking it's more likely to either a Canadian or US market scene.
Mainly because of 'Lucy's Boot & Shoe Depot'.
Depot feels, sounds, and looks more at home in America rather than in Edwardian Britain.
Also, there would have been very few, if any, female shop-owners in the UK during that period.
Even with the Suffragette movement at it's peak, women were, in general, treated as second-class citizens; either tied to the home with children and families, or working for someone, in service, menial factory work, etc..
Also, I've not seen that type of telegraph pole, behind Lucy's, in any early UK cards, only in US ones.
As you say, it's a superb view, let's hope someone can shed further light on it.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Carol

The Playle website has a section on identifying publishers by the stamp boxes.
It gives "Crown Studios" published between 1913 and 1929, but I am no further as to where Crown Studios might have been located.

I agree with Mainly - I reckon it is definitely the UK; after all, we did have bus depots back then.. it wasn't an unknown word.
To me, the buildings in the photo are definitely British looking.
This name Hebblethwaite is a clue. It is also found in Lancashire and the North East.
Maybe the people at this website could help?

My guess is this is Knaresborough; I've attached a picture of Lawrence's chemist shop there which bears a striking resemblance to the light-coloured building in the far left of your picture, and if you look very carefully you can see the top of an arched window on the shop next door which corresponds with the right-most building in my card
Other possibilities with an open market-place with similar buildings are Ripon or Richmond but if pressed I'd stick with Knaresborough
Ignore Carol's comments about the telegraph pole, she's nobbut a lass - they were a common sight in towns right up to the 1960s when the open wires were replaced with multi-core underground cables. I climbed up plenty when I was a GPO monkey after leaving school!
Here's a link to the card on Delcampe:

Xtf70, I think you have hit the nail on the head. Scroll down to the Knaresborough Market photo on the attached link and youwill see the A.BEAL shop.

On my card the right-most building says "Eddy's something or other" on the centre window, and is obviously a boot and shoe shop selling 'Gents Sunday Boots' and 'The Nugget' Polishes according to the side window panes
The wall between the first and second floor windows has had the image obliterated but under a lens reads "Eddy's Cash..." where yours reads 'Boot and Shoe Depot'

Just for interest. This is what it looks like now. Interesting to see that the old shoe shop, now Oxfam has more or less kept its farcade.
