The Crystal Palace (1851-1936), rare footage 1935.

Crystal Palace, originally built for the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, from its re-erection to Sydenham in 1854 to its eventual burning down in 1936.

I didn't think there was any video of the Crystal Palace... Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

I was taught as a child that the Crystal Palace was close to ruins by time it burned down in 1936. However this footage proves otherwise.

[@marksimpson2321]

It was disused for ages before it was destroyed. So sad.

[@assassin3003]

This makes me believe that they just wanted to get rid of it so burned it down on purpose same thing with the crystal Palace in Portugal but goverment in Portugal didn't turn it into an accident just demolished it

[@lucifarian93]

I used to go to John Huntly's shows at Fairfield Hall and he did a Crystal Palace special, surprised this didn't feature , thanks for posting/finding.

[@genia106]

Pierre cheri, Merci for this historical visual. I have heard of the Crystal Palace referred to in period pieces, it is wonderful to actually see it. Built in 1851...WOW! Why can't they build structures like this today? Bisous g

Thanks for uploading! This is fascinating footage.

[@ARed-p3z]

I didn't know that Crystal Palace is THAT BIG

[@McLarenMercedes]

Strange that so little footage remains of Crystal Palace. Could it be that most footage from the silent era was burned up as was common at the time? It's a very impressive looking building, especially considering when it was first built. Did it fell in disuse during the Great Depression?

[@elykpirtsew7280]

The building was destroyed by fire in 1936, but it had not been in use for many years before this date. This was, I imagine, partly due to the economic struggles of the great depression, but also because of the stock market crash and the end of the "Era of exhibitionism".

@@elykpirtsew7280 I thought the original Crystal Palace was dismantled at the end of the exhibition and re-assembled elsewhere where it was eventually destroyed y fire. Some remnants remain there I think.

[@nikolazekic549]

@@elykpirtsew7280 How do you, then, explain this recording? Also, how do you explain that the Gramophone company made recordings in the palace as late as 28. september 1935?

[@CatisFinetoo]

For one there was little to no use for the building after the event, it was more for show than for function. Another reason is that film spoils, lots of old valuable films were lost to time this literally. It still happens now, much less but even vhs and discs aren't untouchable and not everything is backed up.

[@gren509]

Wow, where did you find this ?? Thanks so much for posting it.

[@telx2010]

Apparently from plannig to completion it took 9 months, I find that very difficult to believe.

[@tomjoslin435]

9 months to move to the new site?

[@invertedshadow1746]

it takes about 9 months to get your risk RAMS agreed, signed off and permission to start work........

[@Molotovjack]

I thought it took two years.

[@timdekleijn8910]

the initial building took just 9 months to complete, but that was just scaffolding and glass, but after a few years it was moved out of hyde park to Sydenham hill, this reconstruction did take a few years, but it also expanded onto the existing structure.

[@VickiTakacs.]

No glass factories then. No vehicles. Nothing but lies, just like now.

[@nielsjunker1487]

Beautiful video 🙏

[@oriraykai3610]

The London one had a sightseeing tower like the one in New York? That's the most surprsing thing about this film.

[@TomClarkSouthLondon]

Amazing 😮

[@talktothemicrophone5731]

The original Crystal Palace, which housed the Great Exhibition of 1851, was a massive glass and iron structure. After the exhibition ended, the Crystal Palace was relocated to a park in Sydenham, London. It was rebuilt and expanded in a more permanent location and became a popular cultural and entertainment center, hosting various events and exhibitions. However, on the night of November 30, 1936, the Crystal Palace was tragically destroyed in a fire. The fire was a significant event and marked the end of the iconic structure's existence. Today, the site of the original Crystal Palace in Hyde Park is marked by a statue, and the area is known as Crystal Palace Park. The Sydenham location also has a park with remnants of the original foundations and some surviving features.

[@IssacLHunt]

Crystal Palace is in Selhurst Park you utter spastic

[@Langkowski]

Wish I could have been there on opening day

[@holymoses1744]

How on earth did they get that moving camera shot? It almost looks handheld.

[@FreddySherman]

I think the camera was on top of a bus or truck.

[@raychambers3646]

I wonder how it would cost to build a replica these days ?

[@VickiTakacs.]

They only know how to destroy beauty. They can't rebuild any of it.

[@gemmapalzeaird8820]

It was purposely destroyed in the same way as the ‘world fair’ buildings, and similar buildings in Canada - due to ‘modernisation’

[@assassin3003]

Same thing in Portugal the crystal Palace in Portugal was demolished at least it they didn't turn it into a "accident" but everyone was questioning the government about this choice

[@drummerboyharm3078]

​@@assassin3003same in 1929 with the palace of Volksvlijt in Amsterdam wich burned down too. I believe that wasn't an accident 😢

[@_hkbfinn]

What's even more strange is there were no glaziers in london at the time crystal Palace was built,I believe the tartarian building held crystalite, harnessing the ion out the ether,as it lit on a nightime..goverments knew this and removed it then replaced it with glass.it also had conducting copper at the top.

[@pjdunnit6753]

No glaziers!?!? - Listen to this guy! He'd have you believe glass didn't even exist before 1849.......😀😃😄😁😆😅😂Tw@t of the highest calibre 😀😃😄😁😆😅

True back then production of glass was very slow something don't add up..

[@seanp8220]

Try manufacturing that much glass

[@anursewhocares]

I think Prince Albert was too extravagant. He has a new castle built for the vacation retreats and then he had this built which is humongous I think the money that was spent could have been used for the poor

[@thatdallasgay]

In my opinion; many of the modern things we take for granted were due to the ingenuity and forthwith of Albert. At Osborne House, he had a creamery built that literally had refrigeration for the individual bowls as well as it cooled the building Dow. All of his own design. The Crystal Palace originally wasn’t his idea, it was the idea of Henry Cole. Albert just supported the idea and exhibition fully, and was heavily involved in the details of the fair itself. The money to build it was actually approved by the government at the time because the fair was not only for all nations but to show the splendor and strength Britain had in the world of new sciences and arts and so on.

[@southafricandominion]

[@oriraykai3610]

No. Queen Victoria was the extravagant one. Prince Albert put it towards institutions for learning. She lived on 3 estates after his death.

[@acidinmyspam7402]

@@gregtaylor6146they destroyed so much worldwide to hide the free energy harnessing they’d been using during this period only to charge society for what’s FREE. The same as buying WATER. That’s not questioned, but is truly wild on its own if you think about it and get into collection of rain water. If people knew energy was free and they’ve been lied to what would happen? Most wouldn’t believe it. Most people don’t like facing realities they haven’t been taught if they’re uncomfortable. They’d rather stay in the world of lies that they’ve always known sadly.
