My Mum And Her Brother Were Evacuees In Pilton In Around 1944
A Memory of Shepton Mallet.
My mum, who is now 74, has just told me she was evacuated to Pilton from Surbiton in 1944. Mum remembers Mrs Eaterbrook and some very well-to-do ladies who were part of a Guild, linked with disabled people in Paddington (where her disabled father had been brought up). Mum remembers the church and walking across the fields from the farm cottage in which she was housed, to school. The farm had a big house at the top, and lots of local cottages. I don't think they stayed very long, but she has clear memories, and I would like to take her back to Pilton for a visit sometime.
