1951 Festival of Britain

1951 Festival of Britain celebrations, Bristol


1951 Festival of Britain celebrations. We'd won the war five years before and in Bristol, like the rest of the country, people had had enough of the sight of damaged or unpainted buildings, a tatty city centre and an overall dowdiness. The Fifties had arrived and it was time to get Bristol and Britain moving again.
