The children who arrived mostly by train were gathered together at designated reception areas. They were normally taken to village halls, church halls, schools, and various other public buildings. Even small villages usually had some kind of public or church hall. Adults, usually teachers, accomnpanied the children which were normally ecacuated in school groups. So the children ahd a familar face in the various comminities to look after them. They were taken in by families, but the teachers helped out at the local schools and kept tabs on the children to look after their welfare.
