A great video of a lovely place. hardly changed since it was first opened to the public in the sventies or eighties ( remember the roofs were still on the buildings but for H & S removed) My Mom loved Tyneham and the walk to Worbarrow Bay, in later years using her mobility scooter and then me pushing her wheelchair. I visit at least once a year not living local. Sad to hear the death of Mr Lleg in July, a great author of some lovely books.
To the people who are wondering why they never came back after they were commandeered its because the measure was supposed to be temporary for the duration of World War II, but in 1948 the army placed a compulsory purchase order on the land and it has remained in use for military training ever since. The villagers were not allowed to return to their homes, but were given new accomodation. After the war, many of the villagers launched campaigns and demonstrations, but to no avail.
Very pretty part of country. Lovely place to visit and quintersentially English. Wish the same could be applied to Imber. Utterly, utterley disgraceful outcome.
uuh they did not return because it was war and they have to refugee, well you know the answer why they did not return,could be possible they were killed or they never came back and started a new life somewhere
