Description: | Pictured outside Shipley Art Gallery, Gateshead. On September 1st and 2nd 1939 children from Newcastle and Gateshead, along with children from other urban areas in the North-East and around the country, were evacuated from the cities to safer areas. The numbers of children evacuated were less than expected because many parents could not bear to be parted from their children but, nevertheless, about 28,300 children from Newcastle, 71% of those eligible, and 10,598 children from Gateshead, also 71% of those eligible, were moved. (Brian Pears, 2006). The London & North Eastern Railway Evacuation plans for Gateshead and Newcastle give particulars of evacuees to be despatched from each school in Gateshead, together with the departing Station, time of departure and destination. They are available online at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/NBL/Evacuation/. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | World War Two | Temporal: | name=1930s; start=1930; end=1939; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
