History and architecture:
Fulham’s rural heritage can be easily forgotten when looking at it today. Many of Fulham’s historic structures fell prey to industrialisation, World War bombing and demolition and redevelopment. One of Fulham’s most notable surviving sites is the ancient estate of Fulham Palace, the seat of the Bishops of London. The remains of this artefact with its medieval and Tudor features, alongside the remnants of the grounds is now divided between public allotments and a park with a Kitchen garden and the part-excavated longest moat in England. Much of the stock in Fulham is a testament to the vigorous 19th C. industrial and urban development, most of this are low rise buildings which utilised the brick-field that were abounded locally at the time. An unlisted vestige of the early industrial era is the 1826 remnant of Gunter’s canal bridge, still visible from platform 4 at West Brompton station.
