Description
An exhibition which shows the way Britain reinvented itself as a hi-tech nation after the Second World War. It looks at how wartime research boosted industries such as aviation and electronics, while infrastructure projects rolled out new technologies for health, housing and defence. Design, seen as a key to the nation’s rebirth, went in hand with a boom in British consumer goods and the exhibition will reveal a surprising ‘lost world’ of British manufacturing. Dan Dare, hero of Eagle comic, introduces the show to reflect the spirit of optimism and faith in technology of the time.
