Crystal palace park. Strange structure

Post by bigbadwolf »

Hi guys. It's certainly been a while since I posted here but I've got a question I've beening meaning to post for ages now.

At the rear entrance to Crystal Palace park (near the bus station on the parade) there's a wierd structure that loosely resembles two white arches. It's been there for about a year or so now and I was just wondering what it's purpose is. You can't miss it. When you're walking down the ramp between the two banks of grass it's on your left.

Your answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Take a look at a picture of the old Crystal Palace. You will see it was composed of many identical frames. These are two same size of the base to give you an idea if you replicate it up some thousandfold or so.

Its about all we can afford in rebuild terms atm. It was put up by a group of local enthusiasts.
