    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.

      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

    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?

      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".

      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.

    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?

      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.

    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.

      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.
