With thanks to Rachel Sackley for this picture and description. The picture appears to have been taken outside the Oriental Hotel on the Fitzroy St side. Based on other photos submitted it was taken circa 1939:
John Martin with all his children including his 2nd wife Nellie and their two boys Les and Jim
