EDITORS COMMENTS
Evacuees find solace at Cleaders Croft, a safe haven during the tumultuous times of World War II. This poignant print captures a moment in 1940 when British Road, St Agnes, Cornwall became home to countless displaced individuals. The premises of Cleaders Croft were transformed into a makeshift school, providing education and stability for approximately 3.5 million evacuees from bustling towns and cities across the country. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness children huddled together with hope gleaming in their eyes despite the uncertainty that surrounds them. Their innocent faces tell tales of resilience as they adapt to their new reality far away from familiar homes and families left behind. The photographer remains unknown but has immortalized an important chapter in history through this image. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and highlights the strength found within communities coming together to protect those most vulnerable. Cleaders Croft stands as a symbol of sanctuary amidst chaos—a place where these young souls could temporarily escape the horrors unfolding around them. As we gaze upon this photograph today, let us remember those who sought refuge here and honor their enduring spirit.
