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.

Doreen Foreman

Doreen was biletted with the Bentley family in Rugeley after being evacuated from Margate. Before long, her mother and father had joined her in the Bentley's home.

John Doughty

John Doughty was evacuated from Margate, Kent to Gentleshaw. He was the last to be picked of the evacuees that day, and he still has the chip on his shoulder now.

Audrey Hemming

Audrey Hemming had been reading novels about boarding schools, and so jumped at the chance to be evacuated with other girls from Birmingham to Pipewood Boarding Camp.
