World War Two story brought

to life at Powis Castle

Powis Castle in Wales is inviting visitors to enter one of its

never-before-seen floors, to learn about one of the castle’s

unknown war stories. The new opening, Worlds Apart in War

• the Welsh Girls School, tells the story of a group of pupils and
  teachers from The Ashford Welsh Girls School, Middlesex,
  who were evacuated to Powis Castle in 1939. The girls spent
  seven years at the castle in Powys, near Welshpool and their
  stories will unfold at the attraction over the next two years.
