Crystal Palace Local Information
Crystal Palace lies within the London borough of Bromley, and is
close to where the original Crystal Palace was located between 1854
and 1936. Crystal Palace Park is also found here, as are two television
transmitter towers, visible from many parts of London. The Crystal
Palace transmitter was built in 1950, and stands slightly uphill
from the second mast, the Croydon Transmitter, which was built in
1962.
Crystal palace itself borders five boroughs, Bromley, Croydon,
Southwark, Lewisham and Lambeth, and three postcodes. For many hundreds
of years, Crystal Palace was home to the Great North Wood, and local
legend says that Sir Frances Drake had wood cut for his ship (The
Golden Hind) from this forest. Even though there still remains a
large amount of woodland, the forest began to dwindle with ever-increasing
development in the 1800s. Prior to that, it was home to Gypsies,
and this is reflected in many street and pub names in the district.
The Crystal Palace was a building originally located in Hyde Park,
to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. It was moved to what is now
known as Upper Norwood, where it stood from 1854 to 1936, when fire
consumed it. It is said that the flames could be seen for miles
as it lit up the night sky. It was truly the end of an era.
