As an eleven year old, my father and I went to the Festival of Britain.
I remember the "Dome of Discovery" and the "Skylon." I remember reading in our paper that it symbolised Britain at the time. "No visible means of support."
Memories of individual exhibits are fading.
But I remember one thing that made a lasting impression on me.
We had a cup of tea and a cake in a café whilst we were there.
We sat on chairs like these.
Never seen anything like them before.
