Young's Garage, Lincoln

Scanned from an unused postcard found in a folder of photographs of Young's Garage. The connection with the garage is not clear. I thought that the photograph might show the houses demolished to make way for the garage premises on St Catherine's opened on 1 March 1939; however, early C20 Ordnance Survey maps seem to show two detached houses on the site, rather than a pair as seen here. I cannot read what it says on the lamp outside the left-hand house. If anyone can supply further information, I would be very interested!
