Evacuee
A Memory of March.
I was 5 years old when I was evacuated to March from the East End of London. My mother grew up in Turves where my grandfather operated the railway crossing gates. My parents stayed here after the war ended and my father opened a furniture shop and did upholstery. I was educated here and at Wisbech, the Convent School. I left March at the tender age of 17 to go back to London where I spent 30 years living in Swiss Cottage, Chelsea, Highgate and Hampstead. I left there and went to live in East Sussex where I loved it, but unfortunately my husband passed away and I came back to March as my daughter was living here, and here I have remained. I preferred March back in the '40s it was a lovely town where everyone knew everyone and their business. March has been built up and is far too big now.
