An evacuee’s wartime childhood in Lincolnshire

Available for over a year

A touching tale of an evacuees wartime childhood in Lincolnshire, a story that was nearly lost. Valerie was 88 when her son Miles had to make a decision to put her into a care home and sell her house. He found a transcript of what he later understood to be a memoir of her childhood growing up in London and being evacuated to Lincolnshire during WW2. Miles says that “Finding the manuscript was rather like opening up a time capsule to the past.” Presented and Produced by: Patrycja Boryka
