The Empire Exhibition 1924

I was very surprised to find out that this shot was taken just outside Wembley Stadium.Obviously today the lake and all the buildings from the exhibition are not there anymore.Around the exhibition were different theme's celebrating 'The Empire'.This looks like a copy of the Taj Mahal in Ceylon,India.The whole exhibition cost ten million to construct.Which back then was a phenomenal amount of money.All together twenty six million people visited the exhibition between 1924 and 1925.
