LT AEC Regent bus STL1275 BXU752 @ Townley Rd./Broadway, Bexleyheath - c1953

An old amateur photograph (3"x2") taken between Oct 1952 and Oct 1953 of London Transport (LT) bus fleet number STL1275, registration BXU752 in Bexleyheath by the National and Provincial Bank, turning from Townley Road into Broadway. I assume from trying to find the building that it has been 'redeveloped', or I have the wrong location! The image rear is annotated with "Mayplace Road, Bexleyheath" which I assume is incorrect.
