Some are in their nineties, yet they remember: separating from their parents, not knowing if they would see them again, boarding trains at Paddington Station in London, no one sure about where they were being taken. They remember: the young boy from the East End who was run down by a lorry on a country road, and being a boy scout under the tutelage of an elegant lady from the noble ranks, and the German plane that crashed in a nearby field. They remember the smartly-tailored villager who made an impression on each of them with his knowledge of birds and insects and the names of plants and constellations - sights in the natural world a boy from the East End of London could have never imagined.
Pieced together, these first-hand accounts and photographs create an intimate portrait of a small English village during war time, its people and the evacuees who lived among them.
