Description: | This print was made by a pupil from Farrance Street School in Limehouse's Burdett Road. Pupils were evacuated from London in 1939.
Preparations had been made during the summer term. Following a radio announcement, children reported to Farrance Street with hand luggage, a gas mask and a packed lunch. They walked to Mile End Underground station and travelled to Paddington. They had not been told their destination.
It was Somerton, near Taunton. There, teacher Mary Speaight set her class an art project to record the evacuation journey. Muriel Sing, 12 years old, made this linocut of her new school, Monteclefe School in Somerton. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Digital image Museum of London | Subjects: | Public services London at War Art and Design | Temporal: | c. 1939 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
