Festival of Britain - Clive Dann

1951 saw the staging of The Festival of Britain intended to Kick start the economy following World War II

The exhibition was centred mainly on the south bank of the Themes though many other venues exhibited various aspects of science, technology, manufacturing, transport etc

The south bank site featured some memorable structures including The Dome of Discovery and the Skylon, a tall slender structure rather like a television transmitter mast
