Man reading information about No. 3 The Row Post Office Home of the Driscoll family 1938 - 1943 at Tyneham Village, Dorset, UK in July


Tyneham is Dorset's famous ‘lost’ village, abandoned and deserted. In Nov 1943 all residents were told to leave within 28 days as the area was needed for Army training. On 17 Dec 1943 the last residents left believing one day they would return, but this never happened. The village is still part of the Army Ranges but access is allowed to the public on some days.
