1951 exhibition of architecture: guide to the exhibition of architecture, town planning and building research

The Festival of Britain is perhaps best known for its South Bank exhibition promoting British science and art to the post-war world, but one of the most important elements was the Architecture Exhibition, based in Poplar in East London.

This exhibition was used to demonstrate the principles of modern town planning that had been laid out by Abercrombie in particular in his County of London Plan.
