Taken on Thursday 27th May 1954, this image showcases the ceremonial event where Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, was presented to Mrs J. W. Laing at the refinery's grand inauguration. The picture transports us back to that significant day as we witness the majestic steam launch, St Katharine, sailing from Tower Bridge Pier in London's Port of Authority. The Queen Mother embarked on this vessel before arriving at Coryton for an exclusive tour of the refinery.
