INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND TO THE DOCUMENT This Conservation Plan was prepared by Donald Insall Associates for the Alexandra Palace Charitable Trust. The survey was undertaken during December 2011 – February 2012 by Francis Maude and Heather Pavitt, and the research by Carrie Maude and Katrina Royall, all of Donald Insall Associates. The intention of this document is to inform the Alexandra Palace Charitable Trust by providing: • an analysis of the history and construction of the building. • an assessment of the significance of the building and of its various component elements. • a conservation briefing for the future usage of the building. ii. CONSERVATION PLAN METHODOLOGY – HOW THE DOCUMENT WORKS The Conservation Plan seeks to both guide and advise proposals for the future usage of the building, and is divided into nine parts: 1. The Buildings This section gives a basic introduction to Alexandra Palace, including chronology of development and use. 2. Assessment of Significance This section addresses the aspects of Alexandra Palace which contribute to its significance, and the hierarchy of the significance of its different parts and areas. A key part of this analysis is the Gazetteer, which is included in Section 6. 3. Vulnerability This section addresses the various issues which make the building and particularly its most significant elements vulnerable, highlighting global issues such as the changing requirements for entertainment and function spaces, the service requirements of modern places of public assembly and kitchens and the need to maintain the use of the buildings in the light of particular matters such as fire safety, access requirements, and changing climate conditions. 4. Conservation Policies This section sets out a series of policies which are aimed at informing the process of change and at guiding future building management decisions. 5. Implementation (not included in the Draft Document) Donald Insall Associates February 2012 Conservation Management Plan Page 4 ALEXANDRA PALACE ALX This section is prepared following consultation with the stakeholders about the provisions of the draft document, and details how the conservation policies are to be implemented. 6. Gazetteer This section provides a description of the building part by part, room by room, giving an assessment of the construction, finishes, date of execution and significance in relation to the whole building. 7. Bibliography This section gives a list of the key secondary sources consulted in the preparation of the Conservation Plan. 8. The Plate List and Plates This section contain illustrations key to an understanding of the site and buildings. 9. The Drawing List and Drawings This section contains current plans of the building, colour coded to show the date of construction and subsequent alteration. iii. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are indebted to the staff at the Bruce Castle Museum, for providing such ready access to their collections of archive material; to John Hutchinson and Richard Loren for sharing their knowledge of the 1980s post-fire restoration and subsequent works of repair; to John Thompson of the Alexandra Palace Television Society, who provided us with a copy of his earlier review of the BBC occupied areas; and to Mark Hopson and Helen Cole at Alexandra Palace, for facilitating access throughout the building. Donald Insall Associates February 2012 Conservation Management Plan Page 5 ALEXANDRA PALACE ALX 1.0 THE BUILDINGS 1.1 Introduction and Outline History of Alexandra Palace The first Alexandra Palace was built as a “People’s Palace”, re-using the building from the 1862 Great International Exhibition in South Kensington, designed by Alfred Meeson with John Johnson. It took some time to fit out, due to financial difficulties, and was completed in 1873. Two weeks after opening, it burnt down. Despite inadequate insurance, the Palace was rebuilt (the second Alexandra Palace) within two years. Apart from the main north and south entrance porticos, and their associated basements, none of the fabric of the first Palace was re-used. Opening in 1875, it contained a central Great Hall with a Willis organ, able to hold 12,000 persons, a Theatre and Concert Hall (3,000 persons each), exhibition galleries, a covered “Bazaar” for the sale of merchandise, extensive banqueting, dining and light refreshment facilities, and many further attractions in the Park. Recurrent financial difficulties led to periods of closure. During WWI the building was used first for the housing of Belgian refugees and later for the internment of German prisoners of war. The concert hall was turned into a roller skating rink, while the Theatre was kept going by concurrent use as a cinema, and was remodelled in the early 1920s. Eventually, the BBC leased the eastern part of the Palace for their TV studios, and built the transmitter mast. While the TV uses moved to White City in stages after WWII, the Open University remained on site until 1981, leaving after the 1980 fire which destroyed the Great Hall and the western part of the Palace apart from the Palm Court. The Palace was restored 1980-88 by the Alexandra Palace Development team led by Dr Peter Smith, and is now used for large live music and sports events, as well as containing an Ice Rink. Parts of the Palace, including the Theatre and former BBC studios, remain unused and in near-derelict condition. The Palace is listed Grade II due to: the historic interest as a rare survival of a large-scale Victorian exhibition and entertainment complex, and for the surviving BBC studios where the world’s first high definition television programme was transmitted in 1936; also the complete set of Victorian stage machinery in the Theatre. Architectural interest is associated with the surviving Victorian fabric and internal spaces. 1.2 The Basis of the Research Desk top research has been undertaken by Donald Insall Associates in December 2011 and January 2012 using secondary sources.

The work continues: July 2003 saw the publication by English Heritage of the thirteenth Register of Buildings at Risk in Greater London. There is one difference from the records of earlier centuries, however.The London BAR Register, like its twelve predecessors, records those listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments known to be at risk from neglect, decay, under-use or redundancy with the specific intention of bringing their plight to public notice. Its success is undeniable: 90% of the buildings on the 1991 Register have since been repaired. Its track record in bringing historic buildings back from the brink is established – but the dereliction and under-use continue. This third edition of Changing London explores ‘Steadily, we are shifting the some of the success stories and the outstanding challenges in this important aspect of London life. focus of Buildings At Risk to It also looks beyond conservation and restoration preventing –rather than to active regeneration initiatives. rescuing – ruins.’ Delcia Keate Regional Adviser for Buildings at Risk.

Twelve months pass so quickly and Donald Insall Associates continues to build on the legacy of our past, with its customary creative energy, passion and analytical vigour; we look forward to celebrating our 60th Anniversary in 2018. We work hard to maintain a continuity of approach, even in changing times, learning from our collective experience and particularly from our pioneering colleagues of the early days of our Practice. For me, researching the 50th anniversary of the Civic Amenities Act in 1967 has revealed just how young the conservation movement is and how central in debate, influence and philosophy was Donald Insall Associates. It is pleasing to look back on a year and reflect that the quality of our work continues to shine through and that we continue to grow and develop. The Insall name is now also established in the great cities of Birmingham and Manchester; a personal highlight has been to see our teams taking root in both wonderful places.

  • Custodians for Covid, Theatres Press Release
    Oxford-based photographer Joanna Vestey and collaborator Tara Rowse have set up a bold fundraising initiative, Custodians for Covid, to raise funds for threatened arts institutions. Its first edition focuses on raising money for theatres currently in crisis due to the Covid-imposed lockdown. This includes world renowned theatres such as the National Theatre, the Roundhouse and the Young Vic. (L) Deborah McGhee, Head of Building Operations, The Globe. London, June 2020 © Joanna Vestey (R) Charlie Jones, Building Services Manager, The Royal Albert Hall. London, June 2020 © Joanna Vestey Vestey has produced a collection of 20 photographs, each featuring an affected London theatre, portraying the custodian who is charged with its care during this time of crisis. The photographs are being sold in limited editions to raise funds for each theatre. The target is to raise £1million in charitable donations for the 20 London theatres, amounting to £50,000 per theatre. Each image in the series features an iconic theatre space in which Vestey has highlighted a custodian. The custodian’s presence brings the setting to life and celebrates the often-unknown role of the guardians who continue to maintain these institutions. The series explores themes such as heritage, stewardship, identity and preservation, which feel even more poignant given the isolation so many are currently experiencing and the uncertainties so many face. The images are for sale through Joanna Vestey's website and build on her widely acclaimed series custodians, the first of which focused on the hallowed institutions of Oxford, together with the custodians responsible for them. The series was exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Oxford Biennale as well as published by and exhibited at The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
