This story is submitted to the people’s War website by a volunteer from Lincoln CSV Action Desk on behalf of Susan Bean and has been added to the site with her permission. Mrs Bean fully understands the site’s terms and conditions.
We had evacuees in Tansor and they lived in various houses during the war years and attended local schools. As they boosted the schools’ numbers the lessons had to be staged in two sessions.
Several of the evacuees and the locals still keep in touch to this day.
We also had Land Army girls. There were three in particular I remember and they lived in a little cottage attached to the lorry compound. They all different jobs around the farm and all worked at different farms.
Most of them married local men and all of those still live within five miles of Tansor to this day and have kept up the strong friendships they developed during the war years.
