Nottingham, Trent Bridge

Looking north-east from the Victoria Embankment towards Trent Bridge with the Midlands Industrial Exhibition beyond. THE MIDLANDS INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION The short-lived but very grand Midlands Industrial Exhibition was the brainchild of two Hungarian-born brothers, Charles and Albert Kiralfy who were well known for staging similar enterprises in America and Europe. They took an initial five-year lease on the site beside Trent Bridge, the aim of the Exhibition being to display products and inventions from all over the world alongside various forms of entertainment for visitors - the promoters declared that they were 'prepared to shock, thrill or soothe the public.'
