In 1973 I used to drive past Crystal Palace every day on my way from Catford down to Croydon and Purley Way to Trojan Works. I joined the CP swim club so I could become a better swimmer which did not succeed and I always thought I would check out the whole park one day after I returned from my 2 week trip to California but I did not return ! I do remember walking down what I thought was a quiet trail and asking someone where was the car race circuit and he replied "You are walking on it !". It was hard to believe that they raced through this area as these pictures show. I had my own photos back then but my Trojan contact got ticked off that would not return from CA and he threw it all away. Any way the Crystal Palace deserves some recognition and I will try to put something together.
