Old school - a photo on Flickriver

Old school

            After war was declared in September 1939, the first wave of evacuation that had been planned for many months was put into effect, and children in the major cities of Britain were lined up in their school playgrounds, and walked down to the railway stations and taken to the relative safety of the countryside. In 1940, this school in Linton, North Yorkshire was built, and began receiving children from Bradford, evacuated in the second wave. Today it lies ruined. After the war, the school remained open until the 1980's. It became a Special Residential School, taking pupils from Bradford at times when they couldn't be accommodated at home for various reasons.
