Description:The British Queen stood at 52 Lee Bank Road. This would have been somewhere in front of Lee Crescent on the road. By 1960 number 52 was the business of Rowland Keen and Company - Gunmakers, and Bruce Harris - electrical engineer.

An interesting effect is the ghosting to the right where the gentleman in the cap has stepped forward and then realised a photograph is being taken!
