I was watching Days of Our Lives documentary again recently. And spotted two unfamiliar photos taken probably by Doug Puddifoot of the band which look to be from 1970. I never payed much attention to it before. I don't think they were discussed before:

Freddie has exactly the same outfit (white jacket&trousers and Superman blouse, shirt or whatever it's called underneath. Brian's hair look very similar.

Anyone knows something more about these photos? Can it be rehearsal?

And there is one more photo of Freddie in this outfit. Like those 2 photos, this is also characteristically blurred/fogged on left and right side:

They didn't exactly have rehearsal halls in those days did they?
Likely a venue then, seems like one of those "Brian's Soapbox"Questions

A haulage company turned out to help the fellas!!
This place used to be great, but now it is an absolute joke. For serious Queen discussion, please visit http://www.queenforum.net

Why and how do you come to that conclusion? It looks like an apartment or hotel room. Maybe even someone's house. Why would it be a venue?

^ i thought the same save for the length of what's ostensibly a window pane.
Did Ealing have a performance rehearsal room? It seems to me that the college is featured in the stand-alone Freddie shot behind him. That'd make them all from a similar date

Maybe rehearsal in Imperial College? But not the Union Concert Hall where they used to perform. The windows' shape doesn't match.

Here's the photo of the band (same outfit) taken somewhere in Imperial College:

They're great photos. But it does look like a house maybe? Lounge room or something like that. I couldn't imagine it being an apartment or hotel because of the noise.

But yeah, maybe something to post to Brian to see if he can recall?

My guess would be a classroom rehearsal. Their early days are dotted with tales of lecture theatre auditions etc

Hmmm, could it be at a college dorm or an apartment recreation room? The exterior looks like an apartment building.

Thanks for finding those rare photos, Chopin1995!!
