Festival of Britain, South Bank Exhibition, The Country Pavilion, Chicheley Street, South Bank, Lambeth, Greater London Authority, 08-06-1951. 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".
