“…Grigson's Wessex praised the 'lasting homogeneity and fitness' of the buildings in his region with their 'solid, obstinate and satisfactory way of enduring' . 44 And he underlined how the individuality of the western counties vigorously repelled all contrary trends and insisted on going its own way. A defining feature of the About Britain guides was always to attempt to trace great men -and occasionally women -back to their local and regional roots.…”

Cultural Mapping in 1951: The Festival of Britain Regional Guidebooks

The Festival of Britain in 1951 was a political and cultural landmark, a Labour government announcement of the ‘brave new world’ that was coming after war-time sufferings and continuing post-war austerity. The Festival has been much studied by social, political, architectural, design historians and others. Relatively little attention has been given, however, to the thirteen-volume series of About Britain regional guidebooks, an integral part of the Festival itself but one by its very utilitarian purposes designed to outlast it. The origins, rationale, planning and design, editing, writing, publication and content of the guidebooks are carefully explained here. Above all they are analysed as a deliberate exercise in cultural mapping. Further attention is given to the often unselfconscious attitudes, assumptions, priorities, gender bias and prejudices embedded within their discourse.
