Tyneham is Dorsets famous ââ¬Ëlostââ¬â¢ village. In November 1943 notice was given to the villagers that they would be required to leave within 28 days as the area was needed for forcesââ¬â¢ training. On 17 December 1943 the last villagers left believing that one day they would be able to return. Sadly this was never to happen.
