  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 2 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CHAPTER SEVEN The ‘slum mentality’ of the evacuee – the myth challenged This Chapter firstly assesses Devon’s pre-war school medical service. Discussion then focuses on four crucial health issues which became problematic during evacuation, namely dirty habits, pediculosis (head lice), enuresis (bedwetting) and skin infections. The development of hostels for evacuees deemed unsuitable for billeting on arrival is also discussed. These health issues generated much adverse publicity, particularly during the first evacuation wave, and led to the persistent myth that evacuees were dirty, ill-trained and that they introduced pediculosis and skin infections into reception areas. Local documentary archive material is used to examine Devon’s experience and support the argument that generalised and exaggerated adverse publicity fostered a false stereotype. The largest number of evacuee children came to Devon in 1940 at a time when medical checks were improved, both in evacuation and reception areas. In addition the County already had an established degree of pediculosis and skin infections before evacuation. No evidence of a public or official outcry has been found locally to compare with reports emanating from some reception areas, particularly those areas receiving children from northern evacuation areas such as Merseyside.1 This variance with the ‘received’ version of events highlights the importance of local research. 1 The percentage of Merseyside children suffering from pediculosis, who were evacuated to areas such as Herefordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire, was between 22-50% compared with children from London where the percentage ranged from 8-35%.

  • Marsh Barton Rail Station PDF 703 KB
    PTE/20/1 Cabinet 13 January 2021 Marsh Barton Rail Station Report of the Head of Transportation, Planning and Environment Please note that the following recommendations are subject to consideration and determination by the Cabinet (and confirmation under the provisions of the Council’s Constitution) before taking effect. Recommendations: It is recommended that (a) the Marsh Barton Station scheme shown in Appendix 2 be approved for construction at an estimated cost of £16.0m, subject to funding being in place; (b) the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Infrastructure, Development and Waste, be given delegated authority to make minor amendments to the scheme design. 1. Summary This report seeks final scheme approval for the construction of Marsh Barton station, which forms part of the Devon Metro rail network. It will boost sustainable access to one of the region’s largest employment areas and deliver improved walking and cycling links to the Riverside Valley Park for leisure and onward commuting to RD&E, County Hall and the city centre. 2. Background Marsh Barton station is a core element of the Devon Metro rail strategy and sits in the heart of one of the largest employment sites in the region, with approximately 6,000 jobs (see Appendix 1). The existing, approximately 30-minute frequency service on the Paignton line will provide increased sustainable travel choices primarily for residents living in Torbay, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Dawlish Warren and Starcross, as well as communities along the Exmouth line. These communities currently have limited public transport options for travel into Marsh Barton.
