Kite Marks 2023: … five-year-old Lenny Palmer, one of the fatalities of the bombing who was one of my mother’s playmates in 1940. Lenny lived at 8 Vicarage Terrace with his parents Leonard and Doris and younger sister Molly (all casualties). My mother remembers the Palmers owning or managing a sweet shop which, as she recalls, was situated at the top of Vicarage Terrace where it meets St Matthew’s Street, on the right-hand side of the road opposite the wall of St Matthew’s Church.
