My feelings exactly. I've done a bit of fiddling with Google Earth (and street view) trying to match those images with historic photos from my home town in California, and it's NOT easy! For reasons unknown, this video showed up in my RU-vid suggestions, and I'm very glad I clicked on it. Well done. I do believe I'll be watching a lot more of your videos in the near future.

I grew up in that park in the 80”s. Scrambling around the ruins. There were a few tunnels and hidden basements here and there. Many have been closed off since. Annoyed that the parks move to become a ‘country park’ means they let everything get overgrown. This first steps at the north end were completely clear of greenery right up into the nineties. Also there is a blue stain porcelain floor under the brush at the top of the stairs there. Before the caravan park came in, in the late 80’s the other side of the wall was completely overgrown but underneath was several greenhouse frames complete with trees growing through from the floor that were once contained in pots still visible in the bark in pieces.

As a life long local resident of the area, its lovely to see it being appreciated. It's heartbreaking to see what once once was such an epic example of British engineering in such a sorry state. Your visualisations of the old palace in relation to the present really bring home hat it must have been like... Brilliant! Thank you!

@keithcheeseman567 2 года назад

Deserves an award, what a fantastic documentary. I played there in the 1960's upto 1975 and I can't believe how much of the ruins has gone and has overgrown, there was much more to see and play around when I was a boy. I Remember motor racing, 2 fishing lakes, a zoo, an adventure playground, a ski ramp, fantastic dinosaurs and the ruins. From watching your excellent video so many memories have come flooding back thank you.

Loving this, another subject close to my heart. When my Dad was 3 my Grandfather held him up to his bedroom window to show him the glow in the sky as the Palace burned. The reservoir was always roofed over and part of the North Transept. I understand it is still very much in use. The South Tower actually acted as a chimney when the Palace burned and although they wanted to save it, it was by then part of the local water supply network, the heat of the fire effectively sintered the brick work. As a Kid in the early 1970's Dad took me there on a couple of occasions. Back then you could still see where the molten glass had flowed down the stairs, still fenced of in those days. He also managed to wangle a short visit to the tunnel that connected the LCDR High Level Station under the road to the Palace entrance. I remember it as a dingy, dirty, dark place with a beautiful vaulted roof. Wish I'd taken more notice but I was a strange Kid who had been promised a visit to Foyles Bookshop (I still have the books I bought (wangled out of Dad)... Thank you so much for bringing back so many good memories.

Absolutely loved that as I am also a huge admirer of The Crystal Palace. I am simply blown away not just by the sheer size and scale of the structure but its breathtaking beauty too. It is criminal that it was allowed to go to a state of disrepair and that it burned down was a massive tragedy. Can you imagine the visitors it would attract today? I am really looking forward to watching the next one and thanks for your hard work and effort; it is greatly appreciated and the overlays were stunning as per usual. Great job and loved the music too.

Great videos - a place close to my heart, my mum now in her 70s grew up in Crystal Palace, she lived on gypsy hill. Her and her friends used to play in the park growing up, she was fascinated by the palace, and would do similar explorations of the area and park same as you did, she said one day - playing up the top of the park - they a terrace feature that was normally boarded up - was open - they wandered in and found the old ornate subway that ran under the road to the palace. Later years they opened it up to the pubic, still do now I thing, needless to say as kids my mum and Nan would take us to the park, and showed us all the little hidden gems left from the Palace, I’m pretty sure over by the water tower base - the one you can get to - there’s a steel beam - bolted to the ground that looks like one of the old frame pieces? Really enjoyed this video, I just as fascinated as my mum. She’ll love this - I’ll send her a link :)

@Its_A_London_Thing 2 года назад

What. An. Incredible. Video! Mate, I really appreciate you doing this! I've lived in and around Crystal Palace all my life (40yrs) and have massively fond memories as a kid coming to the park with school and friends, learning about its history and everything it still had to offer. It's genuinely one of the most historic spots in London and perhaps the whole of England and you've done it justice with this stunning video! I've often walked the grounds as an adult and allowed my mind to drift into thoughts of how everything must have looked and felt. The way you pieced the old and new images together was simply spectacular and left not much to the imagination. Your knowledge is top tier, and I'm very impressed, and very grateful! I could honestly ramble on and on about how beautiful this video is. You've really done us proud! This is my Manor and you've brought back a lot of memories for me. I truly hope that 1 day, this can be rebuilt, just as it used to be - because it was absolutely glorious and an absolute spectacle. Thank you for this! I'm looking forward to parts 2 & 3!

Thoroughly enjoyed your video and am really looking forward to the next two. The music had a fitting melancholy quality that suited the remains of the palace grounds. It's a real shame that Bromley council will not restore the stonework on the terraces. At least the subway is being restored at long last after local pressure. I really liked the way you managed to superimpose images of the Crystal Palace onto what is left today so seamlessly. Thank you for a fantastic documentary and I really hope that you can do more than just two more.

They used to do walks where you could do in the tower remains. The museum is sadly shut at the moment. I'm pretty sure the stones are part of the stairs that were removed. The stairs at the back were added much later in it's life and lead to the first floor, underneath that was the basement. The metal posts you found were the original posts from the palace. That's the outside wall. They cut them off at ground level after it had burnt down. They are 8 inches wide, 8 feet apart. It was the worlds first modular building. Your images at 14 minutes shows where the posts were. The guy who was responsible for putting the column there took me on a personal guided walk. The rubble you found where it's raised up is from the blitz. They filled in the basement with it. There are old cars and bomb damaged buildings. If you go in many woods there are signs of bricks being dumped from WW2. The terraces have been restored in the past but need doing again. The statues were sold off after the fire and are copies of the originals. After the fire many were sold off. You can see some in peoples gardens and dotted around the local area. THe bolts you found were probably from the stairs you thought the cast iron posts were for. I"m pretty sure the back stairs were mostly concrete posts (but I might be wrong). Great video. I hope the above is of some interest. I used to be fascinated by the park and have been on many guided tours of it, including tours of the underground vaulted access from the high level train station.

I remember getting up on a sunny Sunday morning and looking out of the window of my room and trying to imagine what it would be like if the Palace was still there as the foundations were still clearly visible.

Absolutely brilliant as usual Darren. I stayed just up the road a couple of years ago to visit a travel trade exhibition at Excel and it was around Bonfire night. The fireworks display was awesome, but I now realised that walked right past that curved wall and never knew it was the base of one of Brunel's water towers. Incredible. The dinosaur park is excellent, so can't wait to see that, as well as the railway stations and hopefully the pneumatic railway remains too. A little side story. I was waiting for a train to crystal palace and a guy had just missed his train. He looked at the board and it said. 6 minutes till next one. He went nuts!!. "Six minutes..six minutes. ". he shouted. I said, try living where I'm from, north of Watford, where they are every hour, if you're lucky! He just went "Humph" and walked off. Lol. Many thanks for all your hard work, research and editing.

The Crystal Palace must have really been a sight to see. Wish it survived so it could still be enjoyed today. Another great watch. You seem to enjoy your work. Thanks again for your time and work.....

I remember seeing the remains of the metal arches to the roof of the old high level station peeping over the walls! Me and my mate, years later, explored the site of the station and discovered the secret Alhambra covered way, which no doubt you will cover in further videos! Very interesting and clever transitions!

Thanks Michael. What's the Alhambra covered way? Do you mean the subway?

@michaelmiller641 2 года назад

@@AdventureMe yes, the subway between the railway station and the crystal palace
