- This is the property that occupies the site of 19, Spencer Road today. Along with no. 29 on the corner, it is clearly a post-war dwelling in a street that otherwise consists of late-Victorian properties. Both nos. 19, and 29, are therefore assumed to have been demolished and rebuilt after the war. James Mitchell aged 69, his wife Fanny aged 68, and Lily Mugg aged 47, all died here in the bombing on the night of 9th November 1940. Image
