DOWNSTREAM CIRCUIT - "THE PEOPLE" : The People of Britain
We are a people of mixed ancestry and now a blend of many different qualities.
"The story that has been told so far shows that, in achievement, the British are a nation of many different parts. In appearance, too, they are just as mixed -certainly one of the most-mixed people in the world.
Who are these British people? What different breeds of ancestors have contributed to the shaping of such a rare miscellany of faces as confronts the visitor in any London bus? Where did these various ancestors come from? How did they reach this land?
These are some of the questions that this Pavilion answers, so that, before the visitor passes on to the series of Pavilions which tell the stories of the British people on their home ground, he may be acquainted with the origins from which these mixed and versatile folk have sprung."
