Exhibition 'Bristol's Lost City' in New Room - John Wesley's Chapel
Ask most Bristolians where or what was the ‘White City’ and you’ll get a blank look. The 1914 Bristol International Exhibition was an extravaganza that was half trade fair and half theme park. When war broke out the War Office acquired the exhibition site for use as a military barracks. Clive Burlton’s talk and exhibition tell the story of Bristol’s transition from peacetime to wartime in 1914 through the eyes of the White City site.
