In late 1936 the Crystal Palace was destroyed by fire.  In 1937 scrap metal merchants removed the remains of the ironwork. |
Well not quite all ! In 1941 Brunel's Water Towers were demolished.  In the foreground lies the demolished North Water Tower. But behind it near the trees the last few columns of the Crystal Palace remain - a lonely Crystal Palace Corner © silhouetted on the skyline of a South London hilltop. |

The last part of Paxton's Palace to go!  This same, cast iron, Paxton designed, iconic shape to return to the site three quarters of a century later ! |
This is the aim.  |
