Many thanks for that. Some fascinating statistics on the Crystal Palace such as all the glass being hand blown piece by piece, yikes, and that there were only (multiples of) 48 component parts - which possibly explains how it could be moved from its original location in Hyde Park.

The programme in total is well worth viewing before it falls off the iPlayer radar for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Thanks again :)
