They tried to preserve the building, moved it (it was designed to be broken down and put back up) but then after a short period of time it burned down.

Omg! This is utterly fascinating! I’d always wondered what had happened to the Crystal Palace, so thank you for letting us know. I have a fact that you probably don’t know:Hamilton, Ontario, Canada built a smaller crystal palace in their park ( which to this day is called Victoria Park) It was built for visit from the Crown Prince. I wish I had a picture that I could share with you of it. Thank you, yet again for your amazing videos. I am always so excited when I see them posted!

The Crystal Palace went from conception to completion in less than a year. It was designed by Joseph Paxton, who was better known as a gardener than a civil engineer; however, Paxton had pioneered the use of modular glass and iron frameworks for building massive glass houses, and really knew his stuff! The building was designed to be a temporary structure, but actually lasted over 80 years before the unfortunate fire that destroyed it.

Well, Tez, you've done it again! Brilliant subject presented brilliantly! I've read and watched documentaries on the Crystal Palace for many years-- not many have touched on the technical exhibits inside (honestly can't name one). I've been woeful of the Palace's untimely demise all those years ago-- that sparkling jewel of architecture would still wow the masses to this day. A commentor before me mentioned how wonderful it would have been if all the exhibits had been kept inside for decades as a museum. I heartily agree! Britain during the Industrial Revolution and the later "Machine Age" boasted a great deal of worldly innovations and firsts: think Isembard Kingdom Brunel, et al. You've got alot of rich history to draw from, Tez, get on it!. The Crystal Palace is a brilliant start to all this! A great opener to a series! I look forward to more!

The Crystal Palace continues to amaze audiences, especially that 4-0 victory over Manchester United. In all seriousness though, Crystal Palace are about to redevelop Selhurst Park... and yes, it will feature an all-glass frontage, inspired by the original Crystal Palace. So... sort of being rebuilt, a very tenuous sort of I grant you. If you ever get the chance, visit the Crystal Palace subway, which is all that remains of the old High Level station.

First time I down voted a video by this channel. He failed to tell us which exhibit by far got more coverage in the British newspapers. It was the 1851 Colt revolver. Samuel Colt decreed that nobody in Britain would be allowed to shoot it for a test. Prince Albert stood before the exhibit and insisted upon doing just that. Colt & Co. could not refuse such a glorified personage and the reporters flocked to Albert's testing it on the grounds. The coverage on the Colt revolver made the front page multiple times.
