On June 2nd 1940 1,200 children left Harwich as evacuees, dispersed to a number of locations.

This year on the 85th anniversary there will be a special event at the Station where they left from and an exhibition at the museum.

The museum is seeking anyone with memories, stories and photos from then.

The Team Rector is involved with the project and can be contacted at [email protected] or the museum can be contacted directly.
