We were evacuated at the beginning of the war because Mum was on her own with 5 children as father had been called up. We were living down Handford Road. I remember walking down Princes Street with this big pram with all us kids and we had to get on a train, and we didn鈥檛 know where we were going. We ended up in Leicester. They put us up in a big school and told us people would come and pick us out in the morning. Of course no one wanted 5 kids, so there was just big families left at the end. They split us up so my mum, youngest brother and sister went into one house and we were next door. We weren鈥檛 there long, perhaps 6 weeks, when the scare of an invasion was over we all came home.
