Crystal Palace

I see they are talking about re-building The Crystal Palace at Bromley.
What a great idea.
In it's time it was the 8th wonder of the world.

I read up on its designer Joseph Paxton after my wife did some family history on Chatsworth. [Her ancestor took over from Paxton as head gardener]

Paxton was an amazing Victorian engineering hero who sees to have slipped under the radar.
I hope this effort goes ahead, I know there is a few posters from that area so it would be interesting to see their views.

Re: Crystal Palace

To me, Palace have never been the same since they dropped the claret and blue stripes of the late '60s / early 70s.
Until recently, I never knew they played in gold shirts for a season or two, adopted because it was their lucky away shirt.

Great 1 - 0 win - I can see the league title, a Champions league and the World Cup all in our trophy draw!
