**Online** Sydenham 1854 and the Crystal Palace

The Hyde Park building was moved to the high point of Sydenham on the outskirts of London.  Paxton devised a grand plan to rival the Palace of Versailles, terracing the steeply sloped site of 200 acres.  A huge workforce erected an enlarged Palace that dominated the landscape.  The Crystal Palace had become a place of wonder and education.  The second in a series of three presentations by Michael Gilbert.
