 There was a railway connection leading from the sidings that serviced the Palace of Engineering building. It leads on around to Dominion Way and Commonwealth Way, in front of the Canada and Australia pavilions. It was probably used in the construction of the BEE site and was left in situ to service the exhibition. |

| The diminutive Newfoundland pavilion building. Prior to 1949, Newfoundland was a province in its own right and distinct from the mainland of Canada. As such, it was allowed its own pavilion at the BEE. |

| This building and the one adjacent (signed as F.H. Fisher) I believe both still to exist as repurposed industrial buildings. At the time of the BEE, they both served as restaurant/catering buildings. If I am correct, along with the building nearby, on the north of Fifth Way, they are the last three buildings remaining from the BEE. |

| This building appears also to still exist, albeit in modified form. On sitemaps of the BEE it is shown as another restaurant. It does not really have the appearance of such. Perhaps it fulfilled some catering function for the formerly adjoining Dance Hall. |

| This, I believe, was the site of the Dance Hall for the exhibition. It seems that they wasted no time pulling it down afterwards. Demolition work appears to be not yet completed, as there are mechanical diggers in evidence. |

| Palace of Engineering (British Empire Exhibition). It was the largest single exhibition building.
For the second season of the BEE in 1925, it was renamed the Palace of Housing & Transport. |
