Can't believe it is nearly two months since I last uploaded onto flickr!
This was my first ever house commission (exciting, but also completely terrifying!) from a lovely lady in Fulham before Christmas. The brief was to copy her house exterior and living room as closely as possible, and so I went around and took lots of photos. The actual room is more densely furnished, but most of what I have put in is fairly accurate (it was worth spending the time copying the curtain pattern and abstract painting). Anyway, as far as I could tell she was genuinely pleased with it, which was a huge relief.
This famous old football ground down by the Thames, also known as Craven Cottage, has a strong early 1900s feel - the main building dates to 1905.
For example, just look at those turnstile doors, they are so thin for today's well-fed supporter!
So thought I do some nostalgic processing. Taken with a Super-Takumar 24/3.5.
Fulham Palace
The Tait Chapel
Fulham Palace is a Grade I listed building with medieval origins and was formerly the principal residence of the Bishop of London. The site was the country home of the bishops from the 11th century until 1973. Though still owned by the Church of England, the palace is managed by the Fulham Palace Trust and today is a museum and pleasure park.
The present chapel at Fulham Palace is the fourth known at the site, designed by William Butterfield for Bishop Tait it was consecrated in 1867.
A look inside the Chapel at Fulham Palace
The mosaics found directly opposite the altar on the West wall were originally situated on the east wall, underneath the stained-glass and behind the altar. The mosaics were produced by the Venetian firm directed by Antoni Salviati, but the cartoon was made by Alexander Gibbs under the direction of the architect William Butterfield. Called ‘The Adoration of the Shepherds of Bethlehem’, the historian Charles Feret once mistook the subject as the three kings because of the elaborate decoration and striking colours. The firm Jackson’s rediscovered the mosaics hidden by a curtain put up by Bishop and Mrs Creigton in 1897, moving them to the west wall during the redesign of the Chapel

Fulham Palace, Bishops Park. Fulham Palace was the country home of the Bishops of London from the 11th century until 1975.
At present, the 14 and 414 offer a choice of routes along the Fulham Road, however only for just under three weeks as the 414 is being withdrawn.
In truth, the 414 had the stuffing knocked out of it some time ago, when the northern section from Marble Arch to Maida Hill got chopped.
In the meantime this is Tower Transit ADH45072 overtaking GAL EH93 in Fulham High Street. The ADH was new to First as DNH39126, part of the batch 39111-132 new to Westbourne Park for the 23. I doubt they will be redeployed in London when the 414 finishes on the 24th.
The only slight consolation will be a slight frequency increase on the 14, from every ten minutes to every eight. 3.2.25.
The Parish Church of All Saints
All Saints' Church is the parish church of Fulham, in the historical County of Middlesex. It is sited close to the River Thames, beside the northern approach to Putney Bridge.
Apart from the tower, construction of which began in 1440, the present church building dates from the late Victorian period, having been rebuilt in 1880–1881 by Sir Arthur Blomfield using squared rubblestone, ashlar dressings and windows in the Perpendicular style.
