Plans were made by Manchester Education Committee for supplementary or "trickle" evacuation. This catered for late applications and individual cases. The reception area was Macclesfield, where Miss Brown of Fallowfield Central School, Manchester, was in charge of a group of Central School girls. Two girls from Ardwick went on 24th August, 1941, being conducted to the station and put on the train according to the procedure.  It appears that one child took matters into her own hands and ran away from her evacuation billet.
