Festival of Britain An Account of My Visit to the South _ Bank: Exhibition June 14th, 1951. There are 27 different buildings to I will write this account, describing each building in turn, as numbered in the catalogue, but not necessarily in the order in which 1 went around the Exhibition. Building No. 1. -The Land of Britain, This was entered through a tunnel and passage way. In the first room were maps of the British Isles and many colorful pictures showing 'the change in climate and structure of the British Isles in the past 70 million years. 'There was one particularly | large map which changed shape four (times as a voice explained the differ- ent shapes of the British Isles in the past. It showed how Britain once had 'a tropical 'climate #nd that, where Birmingham now stands, there was once an arid desert. Moving-on one is shown: the different rocks found in Britain. There are two vast glass tubes full of different kinds and colors of earth, and materials found deep in the bowels of the earth. with which these samples are obtained and the way in which the drill works, bringing: up the different samples of earth in the correct order, is also shown. There are also many pictures about the geology of Britain. All 'through this building one was in some sense in touch with the bowels of {the earth. Building No. 2. The Natural Scene. This: was : &, contihuation of the story of Britain' and showed many pictures - of different landscapes of Britain. --These were.-typical . scenes of . various homelife all over Britain and an interesting show of birds and - | animals. of Britain and the different parts of the. country in which they might be: found,; Once again the lay- was. excellent. - The birds appeared in the. tree tops, the animals accend- ing. to. their natural surroundings. These: were: beautiful pictures of for- '| est plans, depicting a certain type The drill out of .the building. and the. exhibit|" of tree. Next to the; picture were minature models of the same tree, clearly showing the difference in col- our, foliage and shape of each dif- ferent type of tree, There was an interesting exhibit of animal life in London, and where these animals might be found. Rats in the sewers, birds in the parks and ducks on the rivers and ponds. At one point there were ahout twelve glass dises on the wall, the top ane reading "The Birds do Sing". One by one these discs showed 'a coloured picture of a bird and the bird sang his song: There were many tanks of fish and.a large glass case of moths and butterflies. There was even a Bee hive shown, under glass, with the Bee's busily working away. Their entrance and exit was in the outside wall of the building where they would fly in and out without interference. | Building No. 3.. The Country. Again a continuation of the. story of Britain, and again very interest- ing in every way. Here was shown 'the various types of farming, kind of 'soil. and many exhibits of wheat, barley and oats in different stages of growth. There was a very beau- tiful display of flowers, The. rural craft section was most interesting. Besides the usual leather work, wrought iron ~ work, weaving, wool washing and needlework, there 'was a lovely exhibit of fancy loaves of bread, all "baked to a golden brown. The Livestock section consisted of ducks, on a pond, chickens in cages and- one or two sheep, goats, cows and one horse. At the end of the Livestock display there was a milk bar where we were able. to: purchase a half pint carton of milk for gix- pence. [It was ice cold and we really enjoyed every drop of it. Passing om we saw the usual display of agricul- tural-machinery. Then we passed through to:-- : Building No. 4. Minerala of the Island.' .In lay out, this was one of the most unique buildings and certainly one of the most interesting. The story of coal production over the past few hundred years, with pic- part of.your ', Friendly, YOUR TELEPHONE is one item that takes a smaller budget. than it- used to.

At the side of the "mine" were cuttings in the coal face, showing the different types of coal found, the instruments which were used to cut the coal and the work- ing conditions of the men. e.g. height, air conditions and so on. , Then we saw.the by products of coal and went op to learn a lot more about iron and steel, and their products. . As we went up the stairs we saw a huge cauldron suspended. from the ceiling and we wondered what it was. lowing the stairs up, around the caul- dron, we eventually found ourselves just level with the top of it and could see the bright red of the 'heat' and all the 'steam' arising from this melting pot. A very effective dis- play.
