EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to a bygone era, specifically to the Franco-British Exhibition of 1908. The grand exhibition was erected on a sprawling 140-acre site at White City in Hammersmith, Greater London. In this particular snapshot, we are treated to a delightful view of two prominent attractions within the exhibition grounds. The first is the enchanting flip-flap, an amusement ride that surely brought joy and excitement to visitors of all ages. Its vibrant colors and intricate design stand out against the backdrop of lush greenery surrounding it. Adjacent to this thrilling attraction lies the Elite Garden, an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustling fairgrounds. With its meticulously manicured lawns and blooming flowers, it provided respite for weary attendees seeking solace from the lively atmosphere. In the foreground stands a charming bandstand, serving as both a focal point and entertainment hub for visitors. It's easy to imagine melodious tunes filling the air as musicians serenade crowds gathered around them. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers glimpses into early 20th-century leisure activities and public park culture.
