Above painting by Janet Simpson showing the "Railway Signal," extreme left next to Bromley South station. The only easily identifiable shop is that of H. Pointer who was at No. 9 Masons Hill in 1898, apparently renumbered to No. 13 five years later, until 1912 when he moved to 7 Napier Road (before moving again to 65 Masons Hill in 1916). Next to him is probably the premises of George Last, a second hand book seller and closest is the oddly named Railway Toilet Club which would have been the shop of John Johnson, tobacconist. The shops seem to have gradually become unoccupied so may well have fallen into decay during the First World War. Info from https://www.bblhs.org.uk/janet-simpson-sketches

Above photo taken in the lounge of the pub, circa 1951. Kindly sent by Robert Edmunds who says:- "My grandmother Hannah who was the licence after my grandfather called Alfred Charles died is top left, my uncle Robin (top right) may have been the name above the door if it was not my grandmother. Auntie Esme next to my father (Charles Basil), my mum Georgiana with me, Robert on her lap, cousin Martin and Robins wife Irene.

As far as dates go my grandad Alfred Charles was at the "Two Brewers" until war damage closed it, he would have been at the "Railway Signal" some time afterwards until he died in about 1951-2. My grandmother and uncle ran it until they took over the "Tucks Wood" pub in Norwich. Robin is shown as license from 18/11/1958. I remember he died in his 50’s of lung cancer.
