'Evacuees' A Talk with Helen Seton
View More
Ramsgate Tunnels is delighted to host a Heritage Open Day free event.
Join us for an informative and well researched talk on evacuees during World War II.
Our speaker Helen Seton, one of Ramsgate Tunnels long standing volunteers, has collected hours of oral history in order to tell personal stories from child evacuees, including from Ramsgate Tunnels very own 'Tunnel Rats'. From Thanet to Staffordshire and further abroad learn more about what these children went through; separation, good homes, some not so great homes and the emotions invoked leaving family behind.
Come along and enjoy this free talk at within our main Victorian Railway Tunnel, starting at 6.30pm on the 12th of September 2024.
Please note that the temperature in Ramsgate Tunnels is on average approx. 11-14 degrees despite the temperature outside and so please dress appropriately.
