  • The Crystal Palace
    The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure originally The Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights. It has been suggested that the name of the building resulted from a The Crystal Palace at Sydenham (1854) piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 General information wrote in the satirical magazine Punch about the forthcoming Great Status Destroyed Exhibition, referring to a "palace of very crystal".[2] Type Exhibition palace After the exhibition, it was decided to relocate the Palace to an area of Architectural style Victorian South London known as Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Town or city London Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936. The nearby Country United Kingdom residential area was renamed Crystal Palace after the famous landmark Coordinates 51.4226°N 0.0756°W including the park that surrounds the site, home of the Crystal Palace Destroyed 30 November 1936 National Sports Centre, which had previously been a football stadium Cost £2 million that hosted the FA Cup Final between 1895 and 1914.

  • 2. Borough Transport Objectives
    Chapter Two Objectives 2. Borough Transport Objectives 2.1 Introduction This chapter sets out Hammersmith & Fulham’s Borough Transport Objectives for the period 2011 - 2014 and beyond, reflecting the timeframe of the revised MTS. The structure is as follows: • Sections 2.2 and 2.5 describe the local context firstly providing an overview of the borough characteristics and its transport geography, and then summarising the London- wide, sub-regional and local policy influences which have informed the preparation of this LIP. • Section 2.6 sets out Hammersmith & Fulham’s problems, challenges and opportunities in the context of the Mayor’s transport goals and challenges for London, and looks at the main issues which need to be addressed within the borough in order to deliver the revised MTS goals. • Finally section 2.7 sets out our Borough Transport Objectives for this LIP, which have been created by the issues identified in Sections 2.2 to 2.6. 2.2 About Hammersmith & Fulham The borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is situated on the western edge of inner London in a strategic location on the transport routes between central London and Heathrow airport. The orientation of the borough is north to south, with most major transport links, both road and rail, carrying through-traffic from east to west across the borough. Some of the busiest road junctions in London are located in the borough at Hammersmith Broadway, Shepherds Bush Green and Savoy Circus and the borough suffers disproportionately from the effects of through-traffic. North-south transport links in the borough are not as good as east-west links.

But our new research shows that many of London’s parks, and our enjoyment of them, are marred by traffic noise. Though 44% of the 885 London parks we surveyed are completely free from the sound of traffic, almost a third (29%) are severely impacted by noise from nearby roads.

    Nesta Working Paper No. 15/07 Community Mirror A Data-Driven Method for ‘Below the Radar’ Research Gaia Marcus, RSA Jimmy Tidey, Royal College of Art Community Mirror A Data-Driven Method for ‘Below the Radar’ Research Gaia Marcus Jimmy Tidey RSA Royal College of Art Nesta Working Paper 15/07 May 2015 www.nesta.org.uk/wp15-07 Abstract This report presents the findings of a study undertaken between June 2014 and November 2014 with the LocalNets.org project at the Royal College of Art (RCA), using the RSA’s existing on-the-ground research conducted for the London Borough of Hounslow. This collaborative research project, Community Mirror, was carried out to understand the ways in which online data-gathering techniques compared to door-to- door research in understanding how a local community works. The study concludes that digital methodologies do offer a promising approach to mapping the ‘below the radar’ social economy assets. There was a significant amount of overlap between the community assets mapped by the two different research approaches, with 31% of the community assets surfaced in the offline research also discovered by the LocalNets online app. Acknowledgements: This paper was prepared by Gaia Marcus to report on work undertaken while at the RSA.
