Congratulations #CPFC! 🏆
Did you know, Crystal Palace Park hosted the F.A. Cup Final 21 times between 1895 and 1914, with crowds often over 100,000.
Then as now, history is made at the Palace.

A remarkable 1936 sculptural frieze by Isamu Noguchi, his first public commission, on the fate of the worker amid rapid industrialisation and the global rise of fascism.
It covers a 72ft wall in a rather forgotten upstairs space at the Abelardo Rodríguez Market in Mexico City.

The stunning Morisco (or Moorish) Kiosk.
Created as Mexico’s pavilion for the 1884 World’s Fair in New Orleans, it moved to Chicago and on to the 1902 St Louis Exposition, before finding a permanent home at Santa Maria la Ribera in Mexico City. It was declared a National Artistic Monument in 1972.

Angel Square Islington, before and after.
The previous building wasn’t perfect, but with upgrading and an activated street frontage, it had more to give. What a waste.

Never forget the horror-show of when they filled it with sand and shrubs to become a porcupine enclosure.

Rock archaeology news: the brutalist monolith from the iconic, 2001: A Space Odyssey-esque ‘Who’s Next’ album cover has finally been rediscovered!
The concrete drainage shaft is buried on a spoil heap near Chesterfield, with only the top now visible in a farmers field. Time to excavate, surely?

Wonderful new glasshouse at Cliffe Castle in Keighley. Originally built 1875, demolished in the 1950s, and recreated in 2017 as part of a £4.5 million renovation project. Local museums for the win! @bradfordmuseums.bsky.social

Ironic tip-of-the-hat to M&S for the impressive transformation of their historic Art Deco store in Brixton. Restoring heritage features, while radically modernising retail spaces.
Rather than demolition, this is EXACTLY what they should be doing to Orchard House on Oxford St.

Terrific to see some of the recent restoration work by @avantiarch.bsky.social on Lubetkin’s Grade I listed Finsbury Health Centre - one of the most important modern buildings in Britain.
Just look at those glass bricks, ooof!

Always loved these Gothic arched doorways to Greengarden House in St Christopher’s Place W1.
