The Crystal Palace is on Fire!
To mark the 60th anniversary of the Crystal Palace's destruction by fire on the night of 30th November 1936, the Crystal Palace Foundation produced a 55 minute video (now out of print) packed with rare archive film footage telling the story of the world famous Victorian building.
Written and presented by film historian John Huntley of the London Film Archive, the fully chaptered DVD spans the full range of entertainment and sport at the "People's Palace", as well as the dramatic night when it burned to the ground in a blaze seen across London and the South-East.
The DVD shows this drama as well as happier times of brass bands, dog shows, cup finals, W.G. Grace, fireworks and much more.
Crystal Reflections
Memories of two local residents - Joan Warwick and Eric Spottiswoode. With some archive film.
(Limited stocks of the video version of this film are still available from us at £4.00).
Black and White and Colour, 76 minutes
