More about this scene
There was something for everyone at the Manchester Royal Jubilee Exhibition. The former Palm House of the Botanical Gardens was converted into the 'Best of Local Industry' exhibition, which included a 'Fine Arts' and an 'Industrial Design' section. Here we see one of the most popular parts of the Exhibition, the Tobogganing Slide. This attraction stayed when the Exhibition closed and the site became White City Amusement Park. As well as the slide, there was a switchback railway, two band-stands, tea rooms and floodlit fountains.
