Yes, many did.
Many were sent to Ilfracome in Devon. I was one of them. Norm Matthews.
No because it was a military town and had a military cemetery. All the evacuees were sent to locations that did not have any military presence or manufacturing.
During World War II, evacuees in the United Kingdom were primarily sent to rural areas away from bombed cities. Notable places that received evacuees included the West Country, such as Devon and Cornwall, as well as Wales and parts of Scotland. Many children were also sent to stay with families in the countryside or to designated reception areas in smaller towns. This evacuation aimed to protect them from air raids and provide a safer environment during the war.
They got a letter sent to them saying that they had to take in evacuees because of the world war 2.
Evacuees
The evacuation conducted by the Ministry of Health did not send the evacuees overseas. Some families went overseas to get away from the blitz bombing. ___ Yes some evacuees were sent abroad. Canada, Australia, South Africa and NZ all hosted evacuees. The evacuations were organized by the Children's Overseas Reception Board (CORB)

With all the bombing in Britain in WW2 children were sent away. They were called evacuees. They were sent to live either with relatives in the countryside, or random people, away from all the major cities which were being bombed at this time.
The evacuees went to these locations: Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, all of Wales, The Lake District in the Northwest, The Highlands of Scotland, and the south coast. Some places the children and adults were evacuated to such as Plymouth and Bristol were bombed so they had to move the kids again to other places.
evacuees were sent away because if they lived in aberdare or swansea or a big city / town in wales / UK they would be sent away because of bombs dropping if they were baby's there mother would go away with them but if they was not a baby they would go alone ok ...x
