Lulworth ranges finally open so a long hoped for walk with a life long friend. Bit windy but sun still warm. #Tyneham #Worbarrowbay #Worbarrow #beachlife #dorset #lulworthranges

My annual pilgrimage to the ghosts of #Tyneham village, where inhabitants were 'temporarily' evacuated in 1943 (so it could be used for military training) and never allowed to return. #Purbeck #Dorset
Find out more about #Tyneham, where time stopped in 1943, on Martin White’s #OnePlaceStudy / #OnelineParishClerk website for the village. #OnePlaceWednesday

The ghost village of #Tyneham yesterday. The residents were removed by the military in 1943 - and never allowed to return. We left at dusk, just before the gate to the long, narrow road was closed. I always expect to look back and see lamps lighting in the windows, smoke unfurling from chimneys...
In 1943 Tyneham’s residents had to leave—their village became part of Army training ranges. Tyneham One-Place Study, which has lots of info on this place and its former inhabitants, is sure to welcome The Genealogist’s addition of Valuation Office Survey records for #Dorset!
