View of Borough High Street, Southwark, looking north. Borough High Street is one of the oldest streets in London being the main thoroughfare from London Bridge to Kent since antiquity. Number 32-34 Westminster Bank is a four-storey rectangular building with attics, and ornate decoration around the attic window. Built in 1862-63 by Frederic Chancellor for the London and County Bank in an Italian Palazzo style, it is Grade II listed, number 1378346 and the ground floor is now a restaurant. This was built on the site of an old prison (or compter) and court house that itself had been built on the site of the twelfth-century St Margaret's church. In front of the bank, the St Saviours War Memorial unveiled in 1922. Costing £4000 it was paid for by public subscription following a competition organised by the local war memorial committee. The winning design was by the sculptor Philip Lindsey Clark who served on the Western Front in World War I. The bronze figure, according to the sculptor, was intended to “express the same dogged determination and unconquerable spirit displayed by all branches of our forces on land, on the seas, and in the air”. It is Grade II* listed, number 1378368. On the right is a single-storey shop, REFRIDGERATION, DOMESTIC AND COMMERCIAL APPLAINCES, built on the site of a building destroyed by bombing in World War II. This has been rebuilt as a four-storey building. The passageway to the side is Queens Head Yard site of the galleried Queens Head Inn. Originally known as the Cross Keys or Crowned Keys, it was possibly renamed in compliment to Queen Elizabeth I. In the fifteenth century, it was the property of the Poynings family. John Harvard, a clergyman, inherited a lease of the Queen's Head Inn from his mother Katherine who died in 1635, just before he emigrated to Massachusetts and bequeathed most of his estate, including hundreds of books, to the college now known as Harvard University. The last landlord was George Batcock who, in 1881, lived there with his wife, two daughters, two sons, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and two lodgers. The building was demolished in 1888.
