I wasn't evacuated as I was only a baby but my brother who was about 12 years old went to Glossop in Derbyshire, he was only there for about a fortnight when he broke his arm and came home, he went somewhere else but I can't recall the name, then to another place just outside Cheltenham which we told me was awful and he was badly treated so my parents brought him home. Bt then he was coming up to 14 - school leaving age and went to work at Shelleys, Aston Brook Street, until he was called up and served in the navy from 1944 to 1946/47 when he chose to be demobbed in Australia where he was serving after ferrying p.o.w's from the Far East for rest and recuperation before they were sent home to England. He had met his future wife and they married in 1947.
One of my sisters was evacuated to Worksop, Nottinghamshire, she was about 11 years old, she was first billeted in a type of mansion house with a number of other children, they slept in the servants quarter at the top of the house and rarely saw the owners, being looked after by the servants. After a couple of months they had to move out because the owners wanted family members to stay away from the bombing in London.
She was then billeted with a lovely family called Tattersall, I remember mom & dad taking me to visit her - I was only about 3 years old, and it must have been an arduous journey in wartime. She stayed there until she was 14 and had to come home to start work. She kept in touch with them until they died, then with their daughter Mary, who went to school with my sister.
About 17 years ago we were on holiday in Portugal and got chatting to a lady and her old aunt, and they said they came from Worksop, and the aunt knew a lot of people my sister went to school with in Worksop. We bumped into them a few times during the holiday and my sister was brought up to date with a lot of the people from those days.
