What is recorded here
Arched brick alcoves in terrace, Powis Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the arches caught sunset light and threw it across marble floors. Maybe residents walked the terrace at dawn, reading shadows in the brickwork. Imagine the alcoves holding quiet conversations, their curves shaping every voice into music.

Part of the 18th-century renovations at Powis Castle, the arched brick alcoves in the terrace were added under the direction of the 2nd Marquess of Powis. They reflect the castle's evolution as a prominent example of Welsh country house architecture and the influence of the influential Clive family.
