Hi Shorty I met a lady a few years ago who use the public shelter that was Stockwell tube station. I also found the remains of an Anderson shelter in my garden when I moved into the house 15 years ago. The previous occupants had tried to get rid of most of it though. It must have been very hard to get around at night in the dark. Did people tend to stay at home more? Can you remember rationing?

Does anyone know anyone living in or around East Dulwich, who was evacuated from London as a child during the second world war, who would be willing to come in to talk to a class of year 3 children about their experience? I work at Goose Green Primary School and my class are doing a topic on the war next term. Being able to talk to someone first hand about their experience would really bring the topic alive to the children.
