Before Cafe Tarifa moved in, 56-60 was occupied by the old-fashioned 'Moonlight Tandoori' restaurant. The front door was on the corner of the building (now a window), where the original doorstep is still visible. In Marilyn Yurdan's The Changing Faces of the Cowley Road there is a photo of the Moonlight's owner, Wasid Ali, dated February 1988.

Outside 56 Cowley Road, Meteor Cleaners, in about 1973. The lady on the left is Lilian Cadle who was manageress of the dry cleaners from 19?? to 1976? (Check). She lived above the shop with her husband Richard (Dick) Cadle (in the blue shirt) who was a tool maker at Pressed Steel Fisher . The other people are their son, his wife and their children, plus a few passers by and a costumer. The shop behind, on the opposite corner of Circus Street with the awning is 54 Cowley Road which at the time was a gentleman's outfitter. There is also a brief glimpse of 58 Cowley Road which at the time was Kumling Chinese restaurant.
