Evacuation officially finished in March 1946, although many evacuees' had returned home long before this date. for example by 12 July 1945, 54,317 evacuees had returned to London.
There is no comprehensive official list of evacuees from Essex in 1939, as records were often maintained locally and may vary by locality. Evacuation during World War II involved many children and vulnerable individuals relocating to various areas, primarily rural regions, to escape bombing. Some local authorities may have records of evacuees and their placements, but these are not uniformly compiled at a national level. Local archives or historical societies may provide more specific information on this topic.
The evacuees arrived in Northampton during World War II, primarily starting in September 1939, when the British government initiated the evacuation of children and vulnerable individuals from major cities to safer rural areas. This was part of a broader effort to protect them from the anticipated bombing raids by German forces. Northampton served as one of the many destinations for these evacuees throughout the war.
Evacuees had to wear something warm on the train.
Evacuees in WW2 were allowed teddies. Many pictures of evacuees boarding the trains have children with teddies.
