Although the British Empire Exhibition of 1924-25 has been much studied by scholars, I was unable to find another Web site devoted entirely to this important world's fair. However, my search did turn up a number of sites that might be of interest. Please let the creator of the sites you visit know that you heard about them here. The Official Site of Wembley Stadium - The most famous structure from the Exhibition is set to be demolished someday. When will the poor fools in the FA realize their folly?
