The 6th October was a Monday in 1879, 1884, and 1890 (see note) using www.easycalculation.com/date-day/day-of-year.php . I checked Trove for Canterbury Park Races for 1879 - no useful result 1884 - the races happened in September that year 1890 - BINGO! races were "continued" on Monday 6/10/1890 - SMH p.3 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13794285 So, surprisingly, this is Sept/Oct 1890.

Since other photos in this series are dated 1926, this is probably the General Strike, and not the date given above.

Lilley and Skinner still make and sell shoes. Lilley and Skinner used to be cockney rhyming slang for "dinner". This is probably taken in the City of London too
