Festival of Britain - 1951

This month marks the 60th Anniversary of the Festival of Britain, held in 1951 as a way of building national moral following the end of WWII and promoted better-quality design in the rebuilding of British towns and cities following the war.
The anniversary sees a number of activities and exhibitions at the original epicentre of the festival along London's South Bank.
