About The British Industries Fair

The British Industries Fair (BIF) was a major annual trade exhibition held between 1915 and 1957, with venues in London and Birmingham. Created to promote British manufactured goods at home and overseas, the fair brought together companies from textiles, engineering, ceramics, transport, and many other industries. It became one of the most important showcases for British industrial design between the World Wars and into the postwar era.

In the interwar years the fair drew international attention, with overseas buyers attending to discover new products and technologies. The exhibition halls near Castle Bromwich and the London sites at Olympia and White City helped position Britain as a global industrial power. You can learn more about the history of the British Industries Fair here: British Industries Fair overview and Castle Bromwich BIF history.

This artwork captures that spirit of optimism, engineering, and national pride, turning a piece of trade fair advertising into timeless wall art for your home or studio.
