Beautiful. I found both this and your other film extremely moving. I'm designing a book cover about this village and I love the characters that populate your footage. You can almost hear their voices. I really appreciate the music you've chosen as well. Lovely work.

Thank you for sharing these personal pictures and history of Tyneham. I've read the book The House at Tyneford published in 2011 by Natasha Solomon, which takes place really in Tyneham. Ms. Solomon gives a bit of the history of the village and your video gave me a vivid idea of the setting of the book. I can somewhat understand the disappointment the villagers must have felt before and after their village was requisitioned by the British government. In the 1930s, my family owned a tailor shop in Shanghai (grandfather made evening dresses for the ladies in the foreign quarter) and farm land surrounding Shanghai. When the Communists took over, they confiscate both shop and land. Today, skyscrapers stand over part of the land that once belonged on my family.

Whilst it seems Idyllic now like most estate villages everyone worked on the estate and lived in a tied house. It was unrelenting hard graft. If you fell out with the family in the big house you were out on your ear to rely on parish relief or, even worse, the horrors of the Poor House. There was much to fear. The Bond family were huge landowners, owning properties at Lutton and Creech Grange (look it up) and several were MP's. When Tyneham was taken over the Bond family received compensation but the residents were only compensated for the loss of garden produce - a pittance. The fact that Tyneham tenants still had to collect water from an outside tap, had earth closets and no electricity in 1943 says it all. Their new accommodation had all mod cons - hot water on tap, baths, electric light and appliances etc. What they sorely missed was the closeness of a tight-knit community broken up by their dispersal but I bet they didn't miss the rest. It is too easy to look back with rose tinted glasses and the idyllic but fictional Downton Abbey. With very rare exception it was exploitation on a vast scale.

your right in most of what you say,,,,, in 1945 most villagers had gotten use to home comforts of an inside toilet, running water and electric. how ever the Bond Family dispite being massive land owners were more friends to the workers then bosses. If someone was sick in the village soup and food was sent from the big house to tide them over until all was well. the Bonds even paid for doctors to visit villagers when unwell. but one thing people dont know is the hard life actully extended life expectancy. fetching fresh water and growing their own food most villagers life expectancy in the Tyneham Valley was up to 10 to 15 year longer then other furdel systems. the lift style and the way my nan was brought up means at the age of almost 90 she still going strong. even her grand folks who lived in the village died well into there late 80's in fact my great great nan lived until she was 94. but your right most after the war saw what modan life had to offer and didnt want to return to the harsher life they left behind

Hi! I'm a journalism student from Paris and I'm making a documentary on the 70th anniversary of the D Day preparations. I'd be very interested in visiting Tyneham and meeting with some of its former residents for a video / photo interview. I'm coming to Southampton next week. Please send me a private message if you'd like to help me. You can also follow me on Twitter:@cbonnerot Thanks a lot.

Grandmother was born in Tyneham where my Great Grandfather was the gamekeeper. Tried to visit a few years ago but only open at weekends. I was quite sad as I had travelled all the way from Western Canada and was unable to make a return visit. Maybe another year.

Hiya, I don't know if you're interested but I'm part of a youth theatre group in Guildford, Surrey, who are devising and performing a short play based on Tyneham. It centres around the girl going missing on the day of them all leaving. Please message me for the link as it won't let me post it here.

It reminds me of a place that used to be called Doodle town in Southern New York located along the Husdon River. Like this town it was taken over by the army for purposes called Eminent Domain which allowed the government to purchase it over the wishes of the people. It was taken to court and the town lost. The army bulldozed the town and never actually used it. Today it is mostly forest with no traces of the town evident.

@cods27 This comes late- but I am sorry for your loss... I found this video to be sad and the gov's actions outrageous!! All the history lost!! I am a young middle-aged woman in Colorado with no real family at present and I've never known my heritage except to hear of some long ago kin in the UK. My heart longs for both! Most people don't know how blessed they are to have deep roots and a strong sense of family lore. I hope the days to come bring you peace and joy....

@loic1980 I loved the photos but it is truly sad that so many families were separated. War does that but one doesn't expect internal displacement.. I never met nor know my family left behind in a village in rural Spain after the civil war was lost. All scattered like leaves now, I suppose, since Franco made their farms into part of a national park in the Picos. I love the music but one question, Sigur Ros, you say is an "islandic band" do you mean one of the British Isles or Iceland?

This is beautiful! We have just visited Tyneham last weekend with my wife - it is amazingly misterious how the past slips over the present amongst those ruins... It was a really unique experience seeing how the pictures on the walls echoing all the villagers living their life and seeing the contrast of the never-happened possibilities. I am sure we'll go back soon. Wishing all the best for those related to the village! Kind regards, Peter

My Grandfather, John Gould was born and raised in the village, he is even in 2 of the photos in your video!!! The one from school, and the picture of the Everetts wedding!! He just recently died (Jan 2010 aged 97) but he always spoke about Tyneham, and we have some wonderful photos and even an accounts book from the church (Tom Gould, his father, was gardener for the Bonds and the church) we are going down to visit Tyneham with our children and to scatter his ashes next week
