Seventy one years ago today London's famed Crystal Palace, originally erected in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851 and later moved to Sydenham burned to the ground. (Did you know that crystal could burn?) We are left with a town named Crystal Palace that hasn't got a palace of any sort, a park named Crystal Palace without a palace of any sort (but with some Victorian dinosaurs!) and a rubbish football team, which I support, that plays in South Norwood.
