More about this scene
The Winter Garden was a miniature Crystal Palace, 126 feet by 136 feet, with glazed arcades and a domed glass roof. The fountain and statue in the fernery (centre) was made by Joseph Durham in 1868. Under-floor heating allowed tropical and exotic plants to be grown in beds, whilst climbing greenery smothered the pillars and roof. Most of the structure was demolished in 1914, but a small section and some statues survive.
