was held at Wembley between April-October 1924. The exhibition complex
covered 220 acres, had concrete & steel pavilions to house the exhibits
of British dominions & colonies and included the Wembley
Stadium - the world famous football venue. After the exhibition
closed Elvin made his fortune by buying up the derelict pavilions and
selling the scrap. When the football stadium went into liquidation, he
bought the complex and became Managing Director of Wemley
Stadiums Ltd. He then had the Empire

hockey players on a large scale.
