Description

This is the audio version of the blog post 'Ghosts on the South Bank: a walking tour of the Festival of Britain'. It was written by Kitty Gurnos-Davies, who did a student placement with the Courtauld Connects Conway Library digitisation project. It was first published on 15 October 2021. This audio version was recorded by Celia Cockburn, who is a Digitisation volunteer.


Kitty revisits the South Bank of London with her own medium-format camera, to recreate and reimagine the Festival of Britain which once stood at the site. She explains how the landscape has changed, and what has remained the same, over the last 80 years.
