Evacuee From London

The River Wye And Queen Victoria Road Bridge c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Dear Sir/Madam. I am at present researching my childhood days at 86,Easton Street Boys Hostel, High Wycombe. I do remember walking to school with other boys alongside the Wye River. The name of that school escapes my memory. Unfortunately my parents were in the army during that period so a visit was few and far, the hostel authority's address at that time was 87, East End, High Wycombe. All info I have gathered from London Archives 1995. I was then a resident of Denmark so letters and the odd journey to London were few, but I acquired some faded copies of aerial photos and scraps of written material. Fortunately with my Windows 7 lap-top & google earth I can move faster and photos. Alas I moved (like evacuees) to "Wing Lodge" Wing, Berkshire, another Boys Hostel. I think it very sad that we three were separated - myself Robert, Mary, Fred. We never did become a family bond. Thanks for listening. Robert.

Was you here during the war or after. My dad always wishes he could trace two evacuees who lived in his home, they were from London - Victor New and Bruce Duncan.
