The Fountains at Crystal Palace, Sydenham: A Glimpse into London's Past This photograph, taken by Hudson and Kearns around 1911, offers a breathtaking view of The Fountains at Crystal Palace in Sydenham, London. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the grandeur and beauty of this iconic landmark during the early 20th century. The Crystal Palace, originally built for the Great Exhibition of 1851 in Hyde Park, was relocated to Sydenham Hill in 1854. The new location featured extensive gardens, including The Fountains, which became a major attraction for visitors. The two water towers, standing proudly at 284 feet high, supplied water to the palace and its surrounding grounds. The towers, with their intricate design and elegant curves, are the focal point of this photograph. The water cascades gracefully from the top, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that reflects the clear blue sky. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers in the foreground add to the serene and idyllic atmosphere, making this image a true representation of the beauty and charm of the past. This photograph by Hudson and Kearns is an invaluable piece of history, capturing the essence of a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the grandeur and splendor of The Crystal Palace and its iconic fountains, which continue to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
