There are a pair of semi detached houses on street view - 28 and 30 Lower Leicester Road which have ‘Western Terrace’ set into the wall. The stone plaque may have been reused.
They look to be opposite 1-11 which has been mentioned.

Added photographs of the houses are readily available on searching.

Many sincere thanks heywood for your reply and for the details and link you enclose.

Looks very much like you have finally cracked the conundrum of Western Terrace. You have explained and provided a link, whilst also mentioning the stone plaque in the wall of the two properties.

You have been very kind and generous with your time researching on my behalf 

Many thanks again heywood.

Hi Daisy,

Thankyou very much for your reply.

Yep, I posted an appeal message on there shortly after receiving the replies to my original message on here back in January 2025.

It was Memories of Lutterworth FB group that suggested I contact Lutterworth Museum. I sent an email to Lutterworth Museum ( which remains unanswered ) before sending a FB message to them.

Sorry for putting the wrong newspaper date I must have been reading with tired eyes.

Thank you for correcting it Boo, also thanks for the website I don't think I've seen that before.

I checked that date for the newspaper entry as its unlikely to have been published the day 'before' she died and it was published 10th June
