Didn't we have a thread celebrating this particular type face? Incidently, this picture is far more recent than it looks (note the plastic jerrican) - it's still there at 'The Willows' Colchester ...

Yes. Weirdly this came up in conversation with Mrs Yoss just this morning, can't even remember why now. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the font now and it's doing my head in. No amount of googling variations of old 1970s shop font sign etc, will bring it up, and therefore the thread is lost to me forever. Please help.

Sometimes it's known as the Chip Shop font.

* Stymie Extra Bold Italic: 

I had an explore of that Flickr photo group, I recognised Profil and Fette Kursiv Grotesk (also known as Derek AT italic), but I think the Extra Bold version of Stymie Italic is the 1960's/1970's signage font (Stymie Bold looks too thin):

I've never seen this prototype version before. Much sexier than the production 8000

Liked for the SGE traffic signals in the background. By this time, some were equipped with pictogram boxes for pedestrian red and green men, as here. Rare to see photos of those.
