  And a reverse view c. 1883 via John C McConnell who has lots of useful information - www.flickr.com/photos/57442878@N08/5886214128/ From his album - www.flickr.com/photos/57442878@N08/albums/72157626470988646

  I have a Festival of Britain coin somewhere in my drawers. It's held in a green cardboard box and has an explanation leaflet too. Unfortunately I wasn't born to see this wonderful exhibition (or others) but I bet it was a spectacle to see.
