The Lark's were allocated a prefab in Loughborough Gardens built by American engineers in 1944 as temporary accommodation for bombed-out families. Sandra was born on the eve of VE Day at St James's Hospital, where the nurses insisted that she was to be called Victoria.Digital image by kind permission of Sandra Clark.
