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.

Brian Howard

Brian Howard was separated from his siblings when he was evacuated from Margate to Gentleshaw. He can remember sitting on the school bank singing them 'Cockney' songs.

Evelyn Green

Evelyn was born in India, and moved to Colchester when she was 6 months old. From here the family were evacuated to Stoke-on-Trent, and lived in many homes.

Olga Harvey

Olga and her brother were 'running wild' in the streets of Birmingham during the WWII bombing. That was until arrangements were made for their evacuation.
