"Tyneham Village in Dorset has been deserted for over 60 years, since the second world war. Before that it was an idyllic countryside village...All this changed just before the Christmas of 1943 when the villagers were told they must leave temporarily,however they have not been allowed to return to this day and the village of Tyneham has remained as if frozen in time for the last 60 years."
