Exeter Evacuee

In 1940 my London school, Borough Polytechnic, was relocated to Exeter which is where I was evacuated to. The school was a renovated building down by the river and not far from the slaughter house (which fascinated the boys). Of course, I well remember the night in 1942 when the city almost burned to the ground and along with it the old school. I had no option to return to London, so I finished my schooling in Budleigh Salterton, but that's another story.

Floods

I think it was 1954 when the Swans Nest pub, Exminster was flooded to a depth of around four feet. It was my local at the time and the landlord was Jerry Hugett, an ex boxer.
