At that time he lived in Blackheath.

He exhibited several works at the South Bank as part of the Festival of Britain including a relief of Neptune in Basil Spence's Sea and Ships exhibit and his life-size figures of Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley in The Living World section.

The same year he exhibited the terracotta Sitting woman and bath stone Mother and child at the Exhibition of the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, The One-Hundred-and-Twenty-Fifth.

1956

1958

Span subsequently commissioned Godwin for a piece for their 1958 Blackheath development.
