A book detailing the remarkable true story of a group of children who were evacuated to Abbots Langley during the Second World War has been republished.
Wartime Evacuation to Abbots Langley, which was written by and follows the story of Clive Clark, was originally published in May 2004 by the Abbots Langley Local History Society (ALLHS). They have now republished it to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the war’s end.
Clive, along with 150 other children from his school in London, arrived in the village in early September 1939. They stayed for the duration of the war.
