- This is the corner property where baby Jane died that occupies the site of 29, Spencer Road today, at the junction of Vale Road. It is clearly a post-war dwelling, as is the property at number 19 further down (the property with balconies), both assumed to have been severely damaged or destroyed during the bombing of 9th November 1940. They are the only buildings of a post-war date in this street of otherwise late-Victorian housing, and therefore assumed to represent properties that were rebuilt after the war. Image
