November 21, 1944, 5 Dead
Comment from anonymous reader: "The five dead reported included a man and wife who owned a toy shop close to Simpson Street. Early in the war I used to spend a lot of time in that shop, they were very kind in their dealings with boys. The V2 exploded during the hours of darkness and woke me. It completely demolished the row of shops and the church at the crossroads of Battersea Park Road and Falcon Road."
Comment from Ted Dexter: "I believe that my grandmother (and her boyfriend) were two of the five killed in the Battersea Park V2 explosion on the 21st of November 1944. I have read an account of the memories of the toy shop husband and wife killed during this attack- which were so touching on http://www.flyingbombsandrocke.... Just wondered if anybody else has any information/memories or connections to this event. My grandmother was called Alice Quiggley or perhaps Gardner. I don't know the name of her boyfriend., but think that they both worked in the local cinema together and were in bed at the time the rocket hit the house."
