As someone who was born and bred in Crystal Palace, i've seen more of the park in this video then I have in my 51years of living in the area. I count myself fortunate to have this on my doorstep and i'm really grateful for you bringing the beauty and the History of the park to a wider audience..great stuff...well done.

Living in South Wales this is a common thought of mine. My mum's partners father was an artist with a very keen interest in local History and was very well known locally before his passing. He would put hundreds, if not thousands of hours of research into his art before he even thought about starting his painting. A lot of his art work is on those information pedestal sort of things you see when walking around. The ones that give you historical information about wherever it is you are currently standing. Every time I see what was, and what is now, it's always because of blatant disrespect for what was then fairly recent History. My guess was in the 60's/70's it wasn't really that long ago so people didn't consider it as history and just "old buildings." Damn shame.

Excellent walk into the past of a park that holds many secrets. I visited Crystal Palace a few times and you see the clues particularly in the lower and upper terraces of how magnificent this place once was. A shame that even though the palace itself burned down the rest of the park was not maintained in all its glory. The crappy concrete walkway is a simply a 60's/70's pattern repeated all over London by city planners who had no idea what they were losing.

As someone who used to live not too far from the Crystal Palace Park, I cannot believe how much was destroyed in the sixties. Apparently, the sports stadium was built from the bricks recycled when they demolished the high level station in March 1961.

I was in Crystal Palace Park two years ago looking at much of what you have covered and i loved it. I have always known about CP as i was born in Croydon and i lived in nearby South Norwood. The night it burnt down my mum was in the local picture palace when someone came in and told everyone the Crystal Palace was on fire. My mum rushed home got on her bike and rode up to Crystal Palace and i remember her telling me that as she went up Anerley Hill the liquid glass was coming down the hill. My mum also told me that her mum helped out on a stall in the grounds during the festival that was held there. In later years my Aunt lived in a block of flats on Anerley hill and her window over looked the platforms of Crystal Palace Stn low level ....I also remember being in my back garden in the early 70's and you could hear the cars racing around the race track.... One other fact not directly connected to the CP but I K Brunel who built the towers died on the 15th September 1859 ... I was born on the 15th September 1959 100 years later .... 😃

So glad someone has finally made this video. Every time I visit I am fascinated with the history and always wondered what remains are hidden. I have also heard of entrance turnstiles hidden in bushes near the park perimetre, not sure if these date from Crystal Palace era or motor racing era. I am very interested in the Pneumatic railway, as it seems a bit of an urban myth, with several digs having taken place over the years with no remains found, although sketches of the time show stations, structures and indeed a tunnel entrance. In terms of the racing track, a few friends and I walked the circuit and near the Low Level station, we found remains of rumble strip kerb stones, and also the typical race track chain link fencing with an angled top near to the sports centre access road on top of a wall that would have edged the 'home straight' and had spectators behind.

An absoluely great video and very informative.I was born and lived in Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace was one of our 'playgrounds'.Especially the High Level station where we used to play for hours.It is criminal that it has never been rebuilt and would make a great exhibition centre again as well as a fabulous park.Councils waste money on things like cycle lanes when it could be used to restore magnificent places like this.And as for that 'monstrosity that was built in the 60's with an 'Olympic swimming pool that was built TOO SHORT to be an Olympic pool,that should be demolished.And while they are at it, re-instate the fabulous motor racing circuit that we all used to love except the immediate neighbours!

I remember playing in the old High Level, they had removed most of the flooring and we walked along the beams with the rain bed in view below us, it was fun climbing in along the window sills and daring the watchmen to catch us, also remember walking through the tunnel which had a slight bend in it, the tunnel under the road was bricked up but there was a gap at the top which could be climbed through to see the arches. Best playground ever. Paxtons head in the park was facing the other way and there was a circle of statues there, more statues were stored in the pumping station, could be seen through the gloom if you climbed up the door and looked in the top.

The Grand Fountains had been destroyed by the Victorians long before the 1960s. They in-filled them and turned them into a football pitch and cycle track. The cascades were mostly just ruins by the 1910s covered by faux buildings in the 1911 Festival of Empire

Lived right next to the park back in the 70s before my family’s move to Australia. Would spend hours in the park just looking at the dinosaurs, collecting conkers, playing football and just enjoying being a kid. My lasting memory though is the flamingos kept in a pond just past CP station on the west side. Seemed so odd, yet they were stunning birds and just a bit smelly! The park was my favourite place in the world…

Back yonder in those years there was an excitement - post Festival of Britain ‘51, to the future, and in the early 70’s the sports area was splashed and built over once again.

Never seen the "rusty laptop" before , but I certainly remember going up as a kid in the 1970s to see classical concerts at the Crystal Palace Bowl on a Sunday evening, mainly because of the fireworks that they would let off in time with the musical finale from the lake in front of the Bowl (as well as the "cannon" fireworks that would be let off from behind the bowl). Sometimes the weather would be glorious, other times it would be pouring down, but nobody cared. The show still went on!

I saw The Pixies play there on the old stage in 1991. I’ve been to 1000’s of gigs it’s in my long lifetime and whenever someone asks which was the best gig I’ve been to I do not have to think about it. The acoustics were second to none, this venue needs to be resurrected.

Love the 2nd part of the crystal palace vids cant wait for part 3 to drop! ..now im a northener BUT don't stop me apreicating history especialy great british landmarks like the crystal palace that sadly burned ans was demoilished before my time! ....its a great shame that non of the fountains ect in the park survive but thats so called progress for you! even though crystal palace park is still a great place for londoners to visit my personal view is they have lost so much there that could have been kept ect ..there aint many parks ect that have such majestic fountains / water features left apart from statly houses these days ect such a loss tbh for the folks in london ;(
