I wouldn't have thought it was a photo studio. They look far too casual for that. Usually people dressed up and posed very formally which makes this photo all the more interesting.

I agree with you that it doesn't look like any house in Ormerod Street which exists today, but could it have been there and been demolished?

A good way to find out where they were living if they didn't always live in Ormerod Street is to check the census returns. I'd have a stab at the 1881 first because that one is completely indexed.
