Country Pavilion OP35894
Festival of Britain, South Bank Exhibition, South Bank, Lambeth, Greater London. The interior of the Country Pavilion at the South Bank Exhibition of the Festival of Britain, showing a display of modern agricultural machinery.
The original caption reads: " Modern agricultural machinery in the Country Pavilion, South Bank Exhibition, Festival of Britain."
The pavilion was designed by Brian O Rorke and the displays were designed by F H K Henrion. The displays highlighted the division between countrymen and townsmen, yet also the collaboration between farmers, engineers and scientists in the mechanisation and intensification of agriculture. A guidebook for the Festival explained that " Farming is our heritage no less than coal and steel"
