Came across this a few years ago by chance as you do on a bike after an interesting bike visit to a nearby interesting church with an interesting nun*

Passed more recently after a bike ride with some nice folks - Poplar East London.

in fact from close reading of that wiki below the memorial in a very humble bit of London, until very recently much more humble, has almost certainly been upgraded from Grade 2 to Grade2* since I first encountered it.

My memory was a bit faulty though - I had the idea that the bomb had been dropped from a Zeppelin.

The children are named on the side - mostly around 5 years old.

RIP.

Under that close-up inscription it says paid for by public subscription.

Wiki on:

* pic of church and nun tale may follow when next that way.

Do stop to check out anything even vaguely interesting you see on a bike folks - car drivers just dash/drift on by.
