Where were evacuees from London specifically Chelsea and Brompton sent during WW2?
Me and my sister Kate who lived in Seymour Walk together with other pupils from Bousefield School in the Little Boltons were evacuated to Grantchester. Kate and I were fortunate in that we were accommodated in The Old Vicarage now the residence of Lord & Lady Archer. This idyllic situation did not last and we were both relocated twice in my case until I was taken in by kind folks with whom I stayed until the end of 1945. I believe that by 1942 I was the only evacuee left in the village. We have been trying to establish the date of our arrival in Grantchester and if there are any records. Any information would be welcomed.
