Thanks that's great to see. I hadn't even thought about it but 23-41 does seem big! Rereading some classiclightweights articles (on the wayback, links below) there's this comment from his daughter:

"The business prospered and another very large shop was leased for retail trade at no. 23 Queens Road Peckham. This property provided spacious living accommodation which the family moved into in 1938, moving from their second house in Kidbrook."

Hmmm that would make sense then. 2 properties on the same street.

@Skülly I think I read briefly that Harrison stopped making bikes in the late 50's so maybe not a 60's frame. Literally going on the very brief bit of research I did earlier, so maybe wrong.
