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.

Maureen Haslam

At the outbreak of war, Maureen was evacuated to Norfolk with her two sisters before being moved again to Wilnecote when invasion was feared.

Roger Pell

Roger Pell was billeted in a hall with his older sister Shirley. He spent most of his time exploring the grounds and became "an insufferable little snob"...

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.
