[edit] Geography

A village situated 10 miles (16km) west of Saint-Omer, on the D191 road. The area around the village was once a heath called Les Dornes, which regularly caught fire along the railway line from Anvin to Calais, perhaps as a result of sparks from the engine. The local newspaper (the Independent) reported, for example, that in April 1908, 70 acres of the Dornes and 35 acres of woodland of the ancient seigneurie of Journy have repeatedly burned, with a fire still raging 3 hours after the passing of the train, which justified a police investigation.[1].
