Description
Little Imber on the Down Salisbury Plain's Ghost Village by Rex L. Sawyer The village of Imber, located on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, holds a unique place in British history. During World War II, it was evacuated for military training purposes, leaving behind a ghostly presence that still lingers today. In 2001, Rex L. Sawyer first shed light on this fascinating story, revealing the events and circumstances surrounding Imber's evacuation and the subsequent campaign to allow its residents to return home. This book offers a detailed account of the village's history, making it an interesting read for those interested in local history and the experiences of ordinary people during wartime. With 180 pages of engaging narrative, Little Imber on the Down Salisbury Plain's Ghost Village is a thought-provoking exploration of a forgotten chapter in British history.
