Ironbridge Evacuees
« on: Friday 11 April 08 21:51 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know of any photos taken of the Liverpool children evacuated to Ironbridge during the send world war?

One of them was my mother Frances Carr (Cunningham) who spent her time at the Blue Coat School and had very happy memories, but unfortunately, no photo

Any help appreciated.

In September 1939 St. Alban's R.C. School was evacuated from Liverpool to share the school's buildings, a shift system being introduced: local children used the school in the mornings, St. Alban's children and teachers in the afternoons; children under 6 were excluded. Evacuee numbers soon dropped but in 1941 another evacuation of Liverpool children raised St. Alban's numbers to 97 and the church school's to 131

Shropshire Archives might have photos.
