My guess is early - mid fifties, the Austin Atlantic started production in 1949. They were very susceptible to rust, making them rare by the late fifties.

If you look closely, behind the 3rd lamppost on the left, you can see that the Co-op boom is swung out: the arm protruded from the building which sported a hoist so that goods could be lifted from unloading trucks directly to first floor storage area. (Just like the historic narrow houses in Amsterdam.)
