The 'Crystal Palace' was a huge glass and steel structure built in London's Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The exhibition was to show Britain's manufacturing and innovative abilities to the world. When the exhibition was over, the structure was dismantled and rebuilt in the South London suburb of Upper Norwood, one of the highest points in London. It was destroyed by fire in 1936 but the stone foundations are still in situ. The surrounding area is now known as Crystal Palace by the local people.
