Thank you for a fantastic, and yet sad, story. I live in Tewkesbury terrace since last year at number 11

Phil was killed in a climbing accident when he was about 20
I migrated to Australia at 29 When my Dad died in 2003 I returned to UK & my Mum said lets go & visit Eve (Phils Mum who had moved to Cockfosters/Oakwood)
We were talking about the “Good Old Days” when Mr Underwood came up
Phils Mum said Oh you wouldnt have known would you ? That when he came down the hill home from work (He was a fitter & turner at Monroes ) He saw that his house had been flattened His Wife & both kids had been killed
The clothes he had got from the wreckage was what he was hanging up & wearing VERY SAD
In Phils front garden there were Brass fittings from Fire hoses & lumps of glass that we used to play with

Many thanks for pointing out the omission and we are more than happy to confirm that we have added Frederick Ernest Clarke to our list.

I have only just found this very interesting site so I am posting this comment years after Joe Ross made his. As he said regarding incident 16, Bounds Green is in Southgate, which was a borough in its own right until 1965 when it became part of the London Borough of Enfield. However, part of Bounds Green is in the former borough of Wood Green, which became part of the London Borough of Haringey in 1965. Tewkesbury Terrace where incident 16 took place is the last road in Southgate and one of the V2’s victims died on the Wood Green side of the boundary so is sometimes missed out of lists of the dead. He was Frederick Ernest Clarke, a constable in the Metropolitan Police who died in a road called The Drive. To make it even harder to identify him as a victim of the Tewkesbury Terrace V2, he didn’t live in either Southgate or Wood Green, but at 28 Bawtry Road Whetstone, two or three miles from where the incident took place. I have read somewhere that he died because of blast from the explosion, but I’m afraid I can’t remember what the source for that information was. When I was researching this incident at the National Archives a few years ago I found a letter to the Ministry of Home Security from someone who lived at Muswell Hill, a couple of miles from Bounds Green, describing seeing in the eastern sky at about 7.15 on 16th September 1944 “what appeared to be a vapour trail brilliantly illuminated by the sun’s rays rising up from the horizon to a great height.” It is incredible to think he was witnessing the launch from Walcheren in the Netherlands of a V2 that would strike a few minutes later so near his home.

Firstly which actual incident are you referring to?

Secondly as stated at the top of the page all plots are located using the co-ordinates listed in the official documents. These co-ordinates are then converted as explained on the “Map References Explained” page.

Therefore the quoted co-ordinates are only as accurate as the person who recorded them and the actual map they used allowed (no GPS in those days), we believe that it is important that the “official” plot is recorded and that any further information that anybody has or finds regarding any incident is also recorded. We have heard from actual witnesses to incidents where the official records record that the rocket impacted at house number x and the witness states that it actually struck house number y.

Please consider putting the street address in your excellent list. I visited the streets today.
6 adjacent houses in Tewkesbury Terrace N11 2LT included deaths; all these houses were rebuilt

2 houses in Maidstone Road N11 2JT included deaths; these houses were repaired

I obtained this information at the Enfield Local History Library
