Last Sunday we took a walk to Alexandra Palace which is just north of where we live. It's set within 196 acres of parkland. First opened in 1873 as the people's palace & provided a recreation centre. 16 days after opening there was a large fire. It reopened in 2 years but had financial problems. In 1900 it came under the Park Trust which makes it available for the free use & recreation of the public forever. It houses an ice skating rink, cafes, areas to rent for receptions plus other uses. In 1935 the BBC leased part of the building which is where the first public television transmissions were made.
We walked around the palace outside then fairly close by there was a farmers market. Here are a couple of shots of dogs along the way. There were plenty more but we didn't always have the camera ready.
These guys were really "meaty" looking.
