Burn Burning North Palace Alexandra
EDITORS COMMENTS
Whoops! Looks like someone forgot to turn off the TV at Alexandra Palace! 🔥📺 On July 11th, 1980, this iconic North London landmark decided to put on its own fiery spectacle. Known as the 'Home of Television, ' it seems even television sets need a break from all that binge-watching! In this print captured by FLPA's talented photographer David Hosking, we witness the mesmerizing chaos unfold. The flames dance and flicker against the night sky, creating an awe-inspiring display that could rival any special effects Hollywood has to offer. As smoke billows into the air and sparks fly in every direction, one can't help but wonder if this was just a rebellious act of a tired old building or perhaps an attempt to broadcast its own unique channel? 🤔 Though no one was hurt in this blazing incident (thankfully!), it serves as a reminder that even historic palaces have their wild moments. So next time you visit Alexandra Palace, make sure you keep an eye out for any mischievous televisions trying to steal the spotlight – or set fire to it!
