like the Phoenix rise from the ashes?
but my earliest memory was my father telling when we visited the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs when I was 8 or so years old that he as a boy could remember all of the people in the street where he lived in Plumstead, Woolwich were in the road looking at the flames from the Palace in the far distance, despite 89 fire engines and 400 firemen the blaze totally destroyed the glass structure, but now some good news for Crystal Place, it might be rebuilt, Shanghai-based ZhongRong Holdings, owned by one of China’s richest men, Ni Zhaoxing, a married father of four and self-made businessman said to have a fortune of $1.25billion (£810million), is rumoured to be having talks,
the mayor and the borough of Bromley had been ‘approached by a potential developer keen to redevelop a large section of the north side of the park’ the spokesman added: ‘discussions between all parties remain at a very early feasibility stage but the plans do not include any residential development, any fully formed proposal would of course be presented to the public for comment in order to build a consensus on the way forward', a Bromley Council spokesman said: ‘We are committed to improving Crystal Palace park, which remains a jewel not just in Bromley’s, but in London’s crown', what a great idea, I some how feel some thing for the Crystal Palace, living close to it and visiting it so often, for me I hope this idea gathers momentum and the Crystal Palace rises again.
