Description: | This model, made in 1948, shows large areas of the South Bank destroyed by German air raids during World War II. Ironically it was this bomb damage that made the South Bank an ideal site for the centrepiece exhibition of the Festival of Britain, and the bombed-out area was cleared and built upon, becoming in 1951 the focus of national celebration. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Leisure Cityscape Identity and Icons | Temporal: | 1951 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
