Evacuees

A Memory of Kidwelly.

With my sister, who is 3 years older than me, I was evacuated from London to Kidwelly and we stayed with a Mr & Mrs Charles at 7 Bridge Street. We had many enjoyable, and probably dangerous, hours playing in Kidwelly Castle. Now you have to pay for the privilege! I do remember going down some steps in the dark and, when we couldn't see the next step, we found a stone and threw it. It seemed to take ages before it hit the bottom as the steps just ended in a drop. No health and safety to worry about then, just children doing what children do. Fortunately we survived that and also survived the bombing when we were brought back to London.
