John White arrived in South Australia in 1836 and was present at the Proclamation Service at Glenelg. He arrived with livestock and building supplies and nine workmen. He soon purchased 320 acres of land along the Torrens River near the coast at what was known as Reedbeds. He had been a successful house builder in London so he arrived in SA with means and money. He named his estate Fulham after his home suburb of London. His wife and sons arrived in SA in 1842. He soon established himself as a builder, farmer and pastoralist of great help even to the South Australian Company. In 1856 he had the Primitive Methodist Chapel built at Reedbeds. It was demolished years later but the current Uniting Church, formerly Methodist, at Fulham was bequeathed a chalice and other religious times from the White family in 1993.
Beside the 320 acres at Fulham John White purchased eleven town acres in the city of Adelaide and 19 town acres in North Adelaide. He soon added more land to his Fulham estate as he got acres under cultivation. He grew wheat, barley, oats, peas, potatoes, onions etc. He also got together a sheep flock, beef and dairy cattle. In 1843 he took up 135 square miles of leasehold land in the south east which was called the Tatiara run and the Avenue Range run. He mainly ran cattle on the leasehold. He took up an early run along the upper Murray in SA too. Both were sold shortly before his death in 1860. He was buried at the Fulham Chapel.
The current Weetunga house was built in 1868 as Samuel’s main residence. It faced west and was reached from Tapleys Hill Road. After Samuel died in 1880 his son Samuel inherited the Weetunga property.. It was about this time that the grand tower was added to Weetunga with marble steps to the new entrance. The house then faced Henley Beach Road and the main entrance was from that road. Samuel White’s father (1835-1880) was a famed ornithologist as was his son. The SA Ornithological Society used to regularly meet at Weetunga in the early 1900s and Samuel also ran a racing horse stud there in the 1890s. Samuel Albert White died in 1954 and Weetunga was again inherited by the family. The property only left the White family when it was sold in 2014.
Fulham Railway Bridge, which carries London Underground's District Line, is seen from the bank of the River Thames in Putney.
This site was originally built in 1890 as Kops Brewery, a highly successful company at the time that brewed non-alcoholic beverages. However, the decline of the temperance movement lead to non-alcoholic drinks falling from popularity, and resulted in Convoys, who packed fruit and other food and goods taking over the brewery sometime after the second world war. It is unknown when the site was abandoned, but it has clearly been vacant for a very long time now.
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.

obviously a dying business... think I'll wait for the promotions; 'bury one, get one free' or 'tomb for the price of one' maybe
Looking somewhat at odds with the relative modernity of Fulham Braodway, antiquated Track Recording Train DM L133 trails T776 from Wimbledon to High Street Kensington. 20/10/14
In the early 1950’s this was my summer holiday destination of choice. It is a street in Fulham. At the far end lies Fulham Palace Road a main route from Hammersmith to Putney, upon which red and brown trolleybuses used to run from Harlesden to Clapham Junction until they were replaced by the revolutionary Routemaster Bus.
The street probably dates from the late Victorian or early Edwardian Period and consists of two terraces of working men’s flats with paired front doors and tiled porches. The odd numbers are on the left, even on the right. The upper floor flats can be identified by the suffix “A” after the number. The flats had a small shared L-shaped back garden maximising the opportunity to let light in to what are surprisingly deep buildings. The gardens were accessed from the top flats by a trap door in the kitchen at the back. The kitchens were also where the bath was plumbed in next to the kitchen sink. A strategically placed Ascot Gas Water Heater which would light from a pilot light with a characteristic “whump” would fill both the sink and the bath. This would then have a wooden cover placed over it making a perfect place to play with Dinky and Matchbox toys. Extended families lived in the street, Aunty Kit and Uncle George lived just down the road from Aunty Jean and Uncle Dick who lived almost opposite my cousin Billy, whose Mum and Dad, Auntie Elsie and Uncle Bill lived just round the corner, who again lived near my cousin Patty, Aunty Jean’s daughter. Landlord’s favoured dealing with known family groups who would always help each other out.
My London relations had all sorts of things we didn’t have at home – refrigerators with a freezer section where you could make spherical ice cubes, you popped out of rubber trays that made lemonade extra fizzy. Drinking straws – at home not in a café or school - Wow. Tommy Steele recorded a song about the little man in the fridge who turns the light on when you opened the fridge door which I played on a wind-up gramophone with a detachable chrome crank handle and stubby little needles that you had to change. Nancy Whiskey sang about freight trains. They had books on bookshelves – Patty had a complete set of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five, Secret Seven and best of all Mallory Towers books – another whole new world to explore. A television that lived in a wooden cabinet with doors, and a wooden cocktail cabinet full of bottles and glasses that I was forbidden to touch but it also had a light that came on when you opened the door – so I couldn’t resist. A vacuum cleaner from Hoover that was made out of metal not plastic – adverts on the television you could sing along to – “Hoovers beats as it sweeps as it cleans”.
just liking the line, from the top left balcony, the lack of vertical reference also the 50/50 of building and sky.

Maybe not the best example, the poor old dodo is now chipped and stained, but eventually, using his new factory with carefully designed kilns, De Morgan could master the art of intense colour and lustre. Here is a dodo tile, also a few border tiles to set it off. 1888-1898.
