Shown in today's Daily Telegraph newspaper this is but one photograph of a number recently discovered and now coming up for auction next Wednesday.

Unique among the pictures are depictions of the Egyptian rooms, where copies of statues of the pharaohs at Abu Simbel were erected. They were later destroyed in 1866 by fire which gutted the Ninevah Room in the North Transept where they stood. The pictures were reckoned to have been taken between 1858 and 1862 by Philip Delamotte. And beauties they are too.

Enjoy

i find this stuff v. interesting, used to live in Dulwich, and Crystal palace park was were we went to play, u could get onto the conrete dinosaurs then.

Wonderful! Make that in Wings 3D, Drac! The small world expands....RJ001...I was just telling Chohole....I used to live in Lewisham.....I went up to the dinosaur park once but they'd closed it...... Thanks for the pics & link, Dennis!

you try doing that with booleans instead! drac (nice pic)

You know it really is a small world. I'm very interested in the Crystal Palace because I was born in a post-war prefab on Blackheath. The number of times I was fished out of the Prince of Wales pond on Blackheath is surely a world record. The 'prefabricated' homes were hastily erected after the war as purely temporary accommodation, they were made largely of asbestos, but we lived there for all of six years before being rehoused in Charlton. A piece of useless information for you, the grass on Blackheath was thought to be the greenest in all London because so many of the plague victims of 1665 were buried there and over the years........ Didn't know that as a kid or my dreams may not have been so sweet!! Thanks for looking. Bye now..............Dennis

small world connections; TheBryster, Lewisham was where we used to go swimming, when i was born we lived in Lee Green - Not far from the old tigers head.

I remember the old Tigers head, used to go there not so very many years ago, and the new tigers head as well. Had a few pints in there.

My missus went to school just down the road from the Tiger's Head/s.......and a friend of ours used to work at the hairdressers (Spider's Web - I think) two doors over.....LOL But we used to drink in the Catford Ram....
