From the archive: The Crystal Palace Building Magazine 18 October 2013 | By Michael Brown With the news of Boris Johnson’s plan to rebuild the Crystal Palace, we decided to look back in our archives and see how the project was received first time around. On January 12th 1850, an article was publishe...

For anyone who's interested, here's the link to an interesting article:

No need to get hysterical about this. No, I'm not accusing Admin of being racist. If you read what I wrote properly I am suggesting Admin changes the title, satirical or otherwise, I think it's inappropriate.

This thread is very revealing. I express that the title of the thread that groups immigrants as benefit cheats is offensive and racist and this brings out all sorts of opinions and deliberations. YOU ALL MISS THE POINT. It's common sense and you don't have to have experienced racism yourself to find...

Maybe I did misunderstand what Admin has done but why should they be given any sort of platform on STF? PC madness. Ignorant bigots shouldn't be given a platform.

Erm, trying to be controversial to get attention by accusing immigrants of benefit scrounging is racist and does not gain respect from me. I'm disgusted at Admin for stooping so low.

Where have all the benefit scrounging immigrants gone?

What sort of racist topic is that???

Last year's Sydenham's Christmas tree decorations were an embarrassment. St Christopher's Hospice's tree was much better in comparison.

Here's the article from Building Magazine. Not about regeneration... :D Does the momentous structure that defined the summer of 1851 have a place in 21st century London? Crystal Palace With the Olympics and Diamond Jubilee, the summer of 2012 was clearly a landmark season for London. But even last y...

Wouldn't this be amazing?

Hi Chris

Do you know if anything's going to be planted on the roundabout at Cobb's Corner?

Owl

Haven't seen him this week.

Miss my rocket fuel...

Thanks Tim. Let's hope something can be done. It's a shame it's not populated with colourful flowers/plants now, in the height of summer, when it can be at its best.

When Rocket Man The Coffee Man's not there the train ride into town is very different. :( His name is Hedley and he makes a positive difference to my morning with his chirpy demeanour and the coffee he sells. I'm glad that 99.99% of the people on here agree. :) At least he's being enterprising and i...

Well if Lambeth council can manage to maintain a roundabout in East Dulwich why can't Lewisham council maintain a piddly little one in Sydenham? Peh.

Go for it Tim!

If it ends up being boring old grass on the roundabout I think I will give up and die!

Look to East Dulwich's roundabout. It's an inspiration!

That's the one

The chirpy man selling Monmouth coffees from a tray on the London-bound platform at Sydenham station is a godsend! 1) He's always cheerful so early in the morning. 2) The coffee he sells tastes better than the ones I've had from anywhere else. Hip hip Hooray Hip hip Hooray Hip hip Hooray :D :D :D :D

Then all it needs now is a couple of deck chairs, mannequins and a beach ball.
