Photo, Thomas E. Clarke/Laxey Wheel

I have a photo of my Great-Grandfather, Thomas Edward Clarke with a younger sister. I'm guessing the photograph was taken around 1890. The photographer was "F. E. Grover." The first initial is blurred. It also says "Broadway Tunnel Gallery" and "Cor Bellevue and Buena Vista Sts." The backdrop is a painting of the Laxey Wheel.

I don't know where the photo was taken. I'm wondering if anyone recognizes the photographer or street names. My Great-Grandfather was born on the Isle of Man but the street names don't sound like IOM streets. Would photographers in England have had a Laxey Wheel backdrop? Any ideas would be greatfully received.
