Photograph of nine keys, arranged symmetrically in an arch shape. The keys are positioned on a sheet of paper. Beneath each key the property from which the key belongs to is written. Most of the inscriptions are illegible but the ones on the right hand side are quite clear and read: 'Penhurst, Kent', 'Battle, Sussex' and 'Albury, Surrey'. The note relating to the central lower key reads: `Bradford, Wilts'.
