I link London Fashion Week with the #FestivalofBritain. Both are about British creativity. It is a great strength if given space. www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025...
Very excited to read of the #FestivalofBritain celebration @lanre-bakare.bsky.social . Please don’t forget the massive focus it had on British creativity in manufacturing britishmanufacturinghistory.uk/2023/05/11/t... www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Made it to #cleethorpes and after checking into my hotel my 1st port of call was the #beachhuts. Last saw these in 2002 and was very excited to find their essential #1950s styling still preserved. Love those steep diagonal railings, so #FestivalofBritain
Festival of Britain fixtures in the Western Mail, 19 May, 1951.
On this day in 1951, as part of the Festival of Britain, Barnsley played FC Haarlem from Holland at Oakwell and won 6-1. Cec McCormack scored 4 & Johnny Kelly & Dunn(?) got 1 each. McCormack’s 4 brought his total in all matches for the season to 48 goals! #BarnsleyFC #FCHaarlem #FestivalofBritain

Here it is: the 1951 Festival Of Britain Celery Vase by Bagley I teased earlier. Putting 'Celery' on it meant it was tableware and therefore not subject to Purchase Tax :-) Naughty Bagley! #vase #celery #glass #bagley #glass #festivalofbritain #vintage #antique #collector #taxavoidance #taxevasion

For the 1951 Festival Gardens at Battersea, Guinness commissioned the Lewitt-Him partnership to design a 25ft high clock. It was so popular that 8 travelling clocks were made which toured the country until 1966. Here they are at #GreatYarmouth #Torquay and #Morecambe.

Watching the new Simon Schama series on BBC2 which begins with the #FestivalofBritain. Fantastic footage for Festival fans 😍
From 1956 the architect for #Blackpool Pleasure Beach was Jack Ratcliff of Howard V Lobb & Partners. He'd worked at the #FestivalofBritain & designed the British Pavilion at Brussels Expo 1958 (below). At Blackpool he built the perspex Astrodome and the complex angled roof of the Derby Racer

Joked that @wiilassie had turned her dog necklace to face left as a socialist gesture (cf Abram Games' #festivalofbritain logo) but she had!
Yeah, our first #urbanwandering film today is The Happy Family, 1952 film about a South Bank couple resisting #festivalofbritain development
