Evacuation to Wales. August 1940. Many thousands of people
Evacuation to Wales. August 1940.
Many thousands of people, along with vital institutions and priceless historical objects, were evacuated to Wales for safety in the Second World War. Wales was conveniently close to many of Englands major cities but far enough from occupied France and Belgium to be at low risk of invasion.
Picture shows evacuees arriving at Cardiff, Wales.
The bus behind them displays a poster for Howells Cotton Fabrics. A business from the time.
