alas it no longer exists, all that remains is a steep hill and a park. within that park are some plastic dinosaur, where I found out for the first time my gf from arizona didnt believe in evoluion. Not that I had a problem with it, its just my only memory of what must have been an amazing place.
- jackbracken 1y agoIn fact the dinosaur statues are not plastic. They were constructed from cast concrete in sections and supported internally by brickwork. I used to love visiting crystal palace to see them as a child.
- nkoren 1y agoThe dinosaurs are concrete, and date from 1852. That's 7 years before Darwin published On the Origin of Species, and 55 years before the invention of plastic. So they're a kind of amazing window into the pre-history of paleontology. Really great artefacts, well worth seeing. Anyhow,hope you eventually got a better girlfriend.
- ionwake 1y agoI had NO idea about the origin of the dinosaurs! Thank you for explaining it to me without getting too annoyed I called them plastic lol.
