I read with interest the article about London evacuees in 1939.
We had one staying with us in Goldsmith Road. How long he stayed I don't remember but it seemed a fairly short time.
In March 1941, my brother and I, and many more from St Mary's Roman Catholic School, were sent off to Mansfield, Notts. On arriving, we were put up in a school awaiting to be collected.
During the time we were there, my brother and I were separated after a few months together and stayed like that for the rest of our time there.
In January 1945, my older sister and her boyfriend came to take us both home.
