    I grew up in Crsytal Palace during the late 70s early 80s, some of the happiest days of my life spent there.

    I live here. I've always loved this park from childhood, when my mum would take us all to watch the athletics in the sports stadium. It was free then. It's a shame that you didn't mention the farm that is there. Which was shut for the longest time. It used to be a small zoo. As an adult now, I love to search out Hidden features of the palace that is hidden under or behind growth. There's also the famous spinx. The new cafe near the dinosaurs. There's a caravan park and a beautiful lake and gorgeous birds. There's also a tiny museum. It really is a lovely place, whatever the season.

    @ 3.15 where that woman pushing the buggy past that blue metal fence is the site of the old high level station on Farquhar Road main entrance.

    Excellent series. No mention of the Crystal Palace motor racing circuit which attracted the worl'ds best drivers until it was closed in the 1970s. Some of the original circuit still remains in the park.

    This was great. I’ve only been to Crystal Palace Park once. It’s like no other place I’ve ever been. Loved seeing the dinosaurs & foundation to the actual Crystal Palace.

    Your videos are wonderful and you do so much to showcase the real London. Reminds me how charming Crystal palace is too. Thank you!

      I think that's the right word - charming.

    It's really depressing looking at what it used to be compared to now. It's not even a bad area but it's not the grand place it was when the Palace stood in the park. Smashing video. 👍🏻

    Brilliant Dewyne. Saw a lot of bands there when the 'rusty laptop' was The Crystal Palace Bowl. Clapton in 1976 being just one of them. Good stuff mate.

  • @dhdavidholloway

    You forgot to mention that there was also motor racing and motor cycle racing that took place here. Drivers such as Graham Hill and Jim Clark regularly raced at the Palace

      I remember watching the motor racing (from a hill in the
      park where you didn't have to pay) and recording the sounds on a very early portable tape recorder to use as background on my Scalextric!

    Great video. Crystal Palace area has some gigantic Victorian houses, probably the biggest I've ever seen

    Come to Sydenham! If South East London should ever declare independence from London (City of Southwark-Greenwich Upon Thames is my name for such a city) you should become it’s mayor you’ve done so much to raise the vibrations of this unsung yet beautiful part of London.

    I think it is seven miles south of Charing Cross actually. But due to hills and bends in the roads that lead there the road distance is 8 miles.

      I assume you are referring to the view and yes it is spectacular in the dark, especially on Fireworks night.

    How does a glass and steel building burn down?

    • @francis_n
      @francis_n 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      simple - glass and steel eventually melt under the intense heat of the flames and thus level to the ground.

    • @francis_n

      Thanks. Lee Traquair gave this episode a really nice feel with his music which fits perfectly and he wrote the episode so I can't take all the credit. Gonna try and get him to compose more like this.

    The "radio tower" was as Eiffeltower built to support it with Electricity =Electric City. Watch old pictures.
    Every World fair had one.

      @-oiiio-3993 ปีที่แล้ว

      The word _electricity_ does _not_ "=" Electric City, fool.
      I suppose you also 'think' _history_ "=" his story and _founded_ is the same as 'found'?

    Do Sydenham! Probably the best place in South East London! (In my opinion)
