Not So Quiet Evacuation
A Memory of Pantymwyn.
I vaguely recall my late father and mother telling me that the family made a temporary move from Wallasey, Wirral to Pantymwyn during the Second World War, renting a house (part of a farm) owned by a Mr Jones.
It was a vain attempt to get away from the nightly bombing of Merseyside since (according to my late father) they soon discovered that one or more 'dummy' factories had been built a couple of valleys away from the village to encourage the German bombers to relieve themselves of their excess loads there instead of actual, strategic targets with possible loss of life etc. I'm not sure just how factual this is and regrettably that's all I know.
I would dearly love to learn a lot more if anyone can 'clothe the skeleton'.
