About this book
Tyneham : a Lost Heritage by Bond, Lilian, 1887-1980 is a book available to read on EtoBox.
The classic portrait of Dorset's most famous village.The tragic events to befall Tyneham add to its importance, transforming it from an evocative record of a vanishing way of life into a portait of Tyneham and its world that is irreplaceable. The elizabethan manor house was Lilians home until 1914, and her account of growing up in the isolated coastal community in the years leading up to the 1st World War vividly captures its unique atmosphere. In 1943 it was compulsorily evacuated and both house and village are now derelict, victims of a broken Goverment promise that they would br returned to their rightful owners after the war.
