Do you have a memory to share?

Children on the move is a project working to create a lasting record of evacuation in Staffordshire. Whether you were an evacuee or not, if you have an evacuation momory to share we would love to hear from you!

Click here to get in touch with us or have a look around the website and share some of the momories that we’ve gathered so far.

June Cowper

June was evacuated to Uttoxeter with her classmates from Withington Girls' School. Her hosts treated her like part of the family, and she wasn't homesick at all.

Dorothy Chadwick

Dorothy was part of a large family living in Bucknall when the evacuees arrived. They became great friends and kept in touch after they had returned to London.

Arthur Garner

Arthur Garner was evacuated to Staffordshire after first being billeted in Stalham in the Norfolk Broads. He went with his two younger brothers and ended up on a poultry farm, which he loved.
