Your British Industries Fair postmark would have been used between 1st February and 7th May 1957 with yours dated 2nd April. I think the 1957 postmark was the last year of use... although the Fair probably continued for a few more years if your 1920-1960 dates are correct.
Incidentally the recipient Elizabeth Pope is worthy of research as she has great philatelic connections.
"...if your 1920-1960 dates are correct" It is quite possible that the dates ARE correct. The use of the postmark dates from 1922 until 1957 but it may be that the Fairs pre-date and post-date the postmark usage by a couple of years. Your Birmingham 1957 postmark is the last year of use...and that previously the Fairs postmarks had both London and Birmingham written.
