Abstract

MANY of the unsightly scars left by the air-raids on London are now being hidden by a carpet of vegetation. Some notes on its growth on a small bombed site in a terrace in the heart of Kensington may be of interest. A three-storied corner house with a basement area and no front garden of any kind was completely destroyed by a direct hit in September 1940, but the site and that of the adjacent damaged house was not cleared until the autumn of 1941. It was then fenced off by a wooden paling which enclosed the former stretch of pavement in front of the two houses.
