 An exhibition of photographs and words telling of the destruction of Poland by Soviet Russia, together with Britain’s role in its demise.
The Two Stories exhibition has been designed by Devon photographer and writer Susan Young who uses photographic art to describe events that are little known in Britain. Her aim is to explore the lost history linking Poland and Britain and correct misconceptions held here about Poland and its past.
The images are some of the last photographs to be taken at Ilford Park, Newton Abbot, before its demolition. Stover camp, as it was originally known, was the last Polish resettlement camp remaining in the UK. The photographs of the derelict camp are chosen to illustrate, in a symbolic fashion, the tragic story of Poland.

At the beginning of May there will be yet another, and last, opportunity to take part in Scottish Tides – Polish Spring, the joint celebration of Polish and Scottish cultures which is taking place in Perth in Scotland. On this occasion, Horsecross, the event organiser, will invite to Perth four of the favourite Polish cabarets: Ani Mru Mru, Smile, Łowcy.B and Dno. Saturday 9 May is promising to be an extraordinary feast for those who enjoy humour. Poland’s four most popular cabaret acts: Ani Mru Mru, Smile, Łowcy.B and Dno will be entertaining the guests in Perth Concert Hall. Ani Mru Mru will present the old favourite gags as well as a new programme, never shown before. Artur Korgul, the group’s manager, commented, ‘As we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our artistic existence, we have already booked so many tours that we won’t be able to visit Scotland again in the current year. So, do come to Perth, to see our one and only Scottish appearance this year!’ |
