I believe this ran the length of Cornwall Avenue, running down the north-east side of the road. Cornwall Avenue disappeared when K11 was built.

Here are some references to Humphrey's Building on Cornwall Avenue:

NB. David, there is a duplicate with this gwulo node here for K.I.L. 574. I'll leave it to your discretion as to how you want to combine the information from the two web pages
