Description: | This Dunlop exhibition, 'The Varied Manufactures of a Great Industrial Group', was held at Charing Cross Underground station (now Embankment) in the booking hall in 1933.
The exhibition shows the different uses rubber can be put to. These include a cinema seat, car seat and coach seat upholstered with Dunlopillo, as well as Dunlop rackets and associated sports equipment. Rubber was also used for footwear such as plimsolls.
This exhibition advertised the variety of Dunlop products. It was also an appeal for people to 'buy British'. This was particularly important throughout the 1930s Depression, to help the British manufacturing industry. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 24 Mar 1933 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
