The Postcard
A postcard published by O.F. Stengel & Co. Ltd., Post Card Publishers, of London E.C.
The card was posted on Thursday the 12th. September 1907 to:
Miss Anstair,
3, Oxford Avenue,
Mutley,
Plymouth.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"11.9.07.
Thrale Hall Hotel,
Streatham,
London S.W.
We are now staying here
and like it very much indeed.
I quite forgot to say I will
make it all right about
postage of parcel when
we return.
The piano tuner advises
for tomorrow, therefore
the piano will not be tuned
this time.
Hope you are all well".
Alas, the Thrale Hall Hotel is no more - it was demolished, and a block of flats was built in its place.
Streatham Common
Streatham Common is a large open space on the southern edge of Streatham in the London Borough of Lambeth. The shallow sloping lower (western) half of the common is mostly mowed grass, and the upper (eastern) half is mostly woodland with some small areas of gorse scrub and acid grassland. The eastern half has been designated a Local Nature Reserve.
Streatham Common is one of two former areas of common land in the former parish of Streatham. The other is now known as Tooting Bec Common.
After enclosure, the Common was purchased in 1883 for use as a public open space under the Metropolitan Commons Act of 1878. It was at this time that most of the trees lining the edges of the lower common were planted.
The Common has a long tradition of cricket playing from the 18th century, and the right to play cricket is enshrined in the Act that brought the common into public ownership.
Thomas Ripley the famous architect built and lived at number 10 Streatham Common South, now known as Ripley House. Sir Henry Tate, founder of the Tate Gallery and the Tate & Lyle sugar company lived at Park Hill by the Common.
In 2010, Streatham Common was saved from the threat of a 'temporary' ice rink being built on it while Tesco redeveloped the former Streatham ice rink by a vigorous local campaign under the umbrella group 'Hands Off Our Common'.
The Rookery
Adjacent to the historic common, there is a formal garden, The Rookery, formerly the grounds of a large house that housed visitors to one of Streatham's historic mineral wells.
The Rookery is well known for its old cedar trees in the main garden. There is also a rock garden - with a cascade and lower water garden dominated by giant Gunnera.
A series of walled gardens were created in part of the former kitchen gardens, including an Old English Garden and a White Garden - which predates the more famous garden in the same style at Sissinghurst Castle.
The remaining parts of the kitchen gardens, which had been used as a council plant nursery, but had been abandoned for twenty years, are now managed by Streatham Common Community Garden for community food growing, and are open to the public on most Sundays.
The gently sloping lawns of The Rookery are used as an open-air theatre in the summer.
Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 12th. September 1907 marked the birth in Aalborg of Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen. He was a Danish architect and furniture designer.
After training at the Aalborg Technical School (1924) and at the Art and Crafts School of the Design Museum in Copenhagen (1928), Mølgaard-Nielsen studied furniture design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (1931–1934).
Hvidt & Mølgaard
Orla's work, which from 1944 was carried out mainly in partnership with Peter Hvidt at the Hvidt & Mølgaard studio, can be divided into three groups: furniture and interior decoration, buildings, and consultancy on large bridge projects.
Hvidt & Mølgaard's pioneering sets of furniture included Portex (1945) and Ax (1950), based on a laminating technique used by furniture maker Fritz Hansen. The chairs were specially designed for export, economizing on space and packaging requirements for transportation. Their church chair remained in the Fritz Hansen collection from 1936 to 2004.
Hvidt & Mølgaard increasingly took on architectural assignments (from 1970 together with Hans Kristensen). Projects covered office buildings and factories, including the De Danske Sukkerfabrikker Building in Copenhagen (1958), as well as collective housing projects in Søllerød, Hillerød and Birkerød (1962–1970), all completed in a light, clear and simple style.
The firm also acted as consultants on the new Little Belt Bridge (1970) and the Vejle Fjord Bridge (1980), playing an important part in the success of their designs.
Death of Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen
Orla died on the 21st. October 1993.
