Default The Festival Of Britain – Maps, Football, Guidebooks. Science And Abram Games

This is part of a series researching the Festival of Britain in 1951.

http://alondoninheritance.com/events...s/abram_games/

This one includes a description of London Transport's involvement, especially maps of Festival bus routes, and also the Underground with station names marked incl. many that have now gone such as Trafalgar Square (remember that?).

In other web pages of the series are links to film clips of Rowland Emmett's "Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Branch Railway."

Well, it's not really gone, just merged with Charing Cross.

Pigeons were becoming a nuisance in Trafalgar Square, so the name was changed to stop them finding
their way back.

I use it quite a lot. The Bakerloo line is extremely accessible there.

Yes I still in my mind call Embankment station "Charing Cross" and Charing Cross "Trafalgar Square".
The Trafalgar Square entance is still there.

I went to the Festival of Britain.

Hopefully not preceded by a six year war.

(Though arguably we're not long out of a six year and also a twelve year
war...)
