I was born and brought up in Bermondsey but haven’t lived there for 40 years. I have also lived outside the UK for many years and feel like something of a hybrid. This blog concerns my family and many other topics stemming from my experiences over the years.
Peter, having no access to my bookmarks, I googled barrowboy. You came up as the ninth hit!

The drawing of The Crystal Palace you have posted on your website is not the same Crystal Palace as the one in the photo after it burned down. The drawing is of the original Crystal Palce which was in Hyde Park. The Crystal Palace that was destroyed in the fire was in Sydenham.

Hi, Laura.
The Wiki link in the post explains that the building was dismantled and moved to South London. So the building was the same, but the location was not.
