Glass houses

[edit]

It would be interesting to know what they grew in the glass houses. There is charm in the thought of the Devonshire children eating strawberries at Christmas in 1838. Fatidiot1234 (talk) 19:56, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First Public Park

[edit]

Paxton is famous for the first Publicly funded park, in Birkenhead, and its influence on the design of subsequent parks, including Central Park in Ney York. Why isn't this mentioned?

Birth date reference

[edit]

I would like to request a reference for the 1803 date of birth. (It may be that a simple reference to G F Chadwick's "The works of Sir Joseph Paxton" Architectural Press, London, 1961, would suffice but I do not have a copy of it to check. It also looks to me as though Chadwick published a book in 1965 entitled "Sir Joseph Paxton 1803-1865". Chadwick's PhD thesis from 1959 in Manchester entitled "Sir Joseph Paxton" might be worth a look too.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neil J Ross (talkcontribs) 18:27, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
