Lowther Castle, Cumberland: A Stately Home Transformed into a WW2 Evacuation Center for Children (September 1940) This evocative photograph captures Lowther Castle in Cumberland, a grand stately home that once belonged to the Lonsdale family, during its unusual role as a wartime evacuation center for children in September 1940. With the looming threat of World War II, the British government initiated a large-scale evacuation of children from urban areas to safer rural locations. Lowther Castle, with its imposing crenellated walls and sprawling grounds, was one of the many stately homes requisitioned to accommodate these evacuees. The children, dressed in their best clothes and carrying their belongings, can be seen gathered outside the castle, their young faces reflecting a mix of excitement and apprehension. The crenellated walls of the castle, a symbol of strength and protection, now served as a backdrop to the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. The large building, once a symbol of wealth and grandeur, had been transformed into a temporary home for these evacuees, providing them with a sense of safety and security during the uncertain times of war. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war years, as well as the resilience and adaptability of the British people. The image of Lowther Castle, with its crenellations casting long shadows over the children, is a powerful symbol of the intersection of history, heritage, and the human spirit.
