Crystal Palace Cricket Pavilion

Post by Welsh Baritone »

Apologies that my first post is an information request, but I was wondering if anyone had any photos which showed the location of the Crystal Palace cricket pavilion. I am assuming from the information I have seen that it would have backed on to what is now the children's play area, but any further info would be gratefully received.

from a 2002 aerial photo that was taken on a dry day the the outline of foundations are visible.

using that photo can also find the pipe that I assume connected the intermediate reservoir to the lower engine house.

Thanks for that Konqi - that aerial shot makes it very clear! I'd always assumed it was around that area but I saw a map the other day which placed it roughly next to where the bell is now, and it threw me off!

The one near to the bell was a more modern building from the 70s (I think) it was pulled down in the late 90s.
