An excellent and fascinating account of the history of the Company may be found in " Bouverie Street to Bowling Green Lane - 55 years of Specialized Publishing " Hodder & Stoughton, 1946.
Bowling Green Lane and much of Roseberry Avenue have few prewar buildings left and on the whole that part of Clerkenwell was badly damaged. However, Wilmington Square, just to the north of Roseberry Avenue, retains the much of the original buildings despite being partially rebuilt, and shows the streets that may have been the backdrop.
I don't understand why the car, driver and photographer would travel 2-3 miles to take a photo in front of a building that was almost the same as one next to the journalist's office.

Try the east side of Claremont Square, if you have donned your full anorak.
