A Memory of Stogursey.
I was evacuated from North London to Stogursey in about 1942. Although I have no personal recollection of this time, being just 1 year old or thereabouts, my mother told me that in the first location, which she referred to as 'crackers castle', we were made to feel very unwelcome, they clearly resented having to take refugees in but in the second we were made very welcome and spent many happy hours there. On one occasion she told me I had found my way into the greenhouse and emerged totally black, covered in soot from a bag used in the cultivation of tomatoes. The other thing she told me was that she would insist on getting out of the car at the top of Porlock Hill and walking down. I must visit the village and surrounding district one day.
