The Blue Anchor, Bromley High Street, in circa 1921 when John Clarke is licensee.

the man sitting down in white was John Clarke - licencee. By 1921 Elizabeth Clarke was the licenced victualler because John left her to be a beach photographer in great Yarmouth. My grandmother ( or her twin) at top window was born in 1909. Mrs Clarke is the woman standing next to the driver behind the little boy.
