Junk from Buckingham Palace Crawl Space Presented as Museum Pieces

NOS14 September · 10:371 week ago

During a decade-long renovation of Buckingham Palace, workers uncovered items such as an 1889 Evening Standard, a 1949 whist tournament form, and 1957 lottery slips beneath the floors, now displayed as artifacts. The finds, including old wiring and a Schweppes bottle, reflect palace life from the 19th century onward. The €400 million renovation addressed fire risks and water damage. When the palace reopens in March 2027, King Charles will remain at Clarence House, ending nearly 200 years of royal residence at Buckingham Palace.
