EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, EPW026662, showcases Exhibition Park in Newcastle-upon-Tyne during the North East Coast Exhibition in May 1929. The image offers a bird's-eye view of the Pleasure Grounds, an enchanting expanse of gardens, a serene lake, and the edge of the Town Moor. The North East Coast Exhibition was a significant cultural and social event, attracting an impressive 4 million visitors in just 24 weeks. The vibrant scene in this photograph is a testament to the exhibition's grandeur and popularity. The lush greenery of the gardens and the sparkling waters of the lake create a picturesque setting, while the funfair on the edge of the park adds an element of excitement and joy. The intricate patterns of the gardens and the winding paths invite exploration, while the funfair rides and attractions beckon visitors for a thrilling experience. Sadly, most of the structures built for the exhibition have been lost to time. However, one surviving building stands as a reminder of this historic event – the Military Vehicle Museum. This museum is a testament to the enduring legacy of the North East Coast Exhibition and the lasting impact it had on the people of Newcastle and beyond. This photograph, taken by Aerofilms, provides a unique perspective of Exhibition Park during this remarkable time in Newcastle's history. The image captures the essence of the exhibition – a celebration of community, culture, and the joy of discovery.
