The chief architect of the buildings was John Belcher. The Exhibition was held in an area of west London near Shepherd's Bush which is now called White City: the area acquired its name from the exhibition buildings which were all painted white. The 1908 Summer Olympics fencing events were held in the district alongside the festivities. Valentine & Sons Ltd, Davidson Bros, F. Alexander, A&G Taylor, The Rapid Photo Printing Co Ltd
