Re: Crystal palace north wing
Extremely late reply. But I've not been on here in years. You're correct that is shown in the Phoenix tower but if you look very closely, once the tower has just been completed the North Wing was no longer extant. I'm not sure the exact date it was removed but you can work out from that it was ...

Re: crystal palace Race Track
Interesting comparison, but I think the one with the tower is wrong. It's definitely the north tower, but the angle of the 'present day' picture would not match up, if the north tower was still standing. I think the original was taken when they had that extra loop in the track. http://gplea.rscsites ...

oh you meant those tubes I thought you meant the pieces of Iron on the top of the bank. Those tubes were possibly part of the lift system in the North Tower. Yes we are excavating and preserving the site otherwise it becomes a jungle. If you look at aerial photos of the site in 2002 you can barely ...

luckily you didn't take the photo of me standing on that tower base. Yes it was the dry wooden floors with years or rubbish underneath that made perfect kindling that helped burn down the palace, also the wind direction helped. In the 1866 fire the wind was blowing the other way which helped save ...

Looking through the LDA's conservation plan from a few years ago, which briefly surveyed sites of where different buildings and current ones are. They had one for the aquarium but in another item they also have this: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/3320/aquairum.png This "unknown" building on the ...

Crystal Palace Wiki
Been thinking about doing this, might not work out but decided to create a wiki on the Crystal Palace aiming to put all the information and history on it in one place, even modern day history like the NSC.
