Were you an evacuee who was sent to Heanor, Langley Mill, Smalley or surrounding areas? Perhaps you were brought in as a worker (e.g. at Collaro's). Or did your school get moved to the region (e.g. at Stainsby Hall)? Did your family put an evacuee up? Whatever your story, we'd love to hear it. |

replied on: 3/4/2005 11:41:21 PM There was Dunstead House and Dunstead Lodge. I can't really remember either of them, and, despite having photos of both, get them confused. |
