Why Did Tyneham’s Inhabitants Leave?
The story behind the evacuation of Tyneham Village is a poignant chapter in British history. In 1943, during the height of World War II, the British military requisitioned the village and the surrounding area for training purposes.
Due to its proximity to the Lulworth firing ranges, the government decided to claim Tyneham village and much of its surrounding land as a place to train the Allied forces. https://tynehamvillage.org/....
Meet at Ower McDonalds for 08:45 to leave at 09:00hrs. map
The ride will be leisurely through Fordingbridge and onto Shaftsbury to meet our R14 Neighbours for Breakfast, then onto The Lost Village of Tyneham.
Please post up if you intend to come so we know who to wait for.
