John Innes (1829-1904)
In his will John Innes established a Trust on land in Merton Park to establish a school of horticulture to give technical instruction in the principles of science and the art of horticulture. It became a centre for the investigation of how common fruit species breed and the development of new species.
He bought an area of farmland which he called Merton Park, built houses on some of it, and experimented with growing different crops for the London market.
John Innes composts
John Innes compost was developed in Merton, but subsequently the company sold up because of poor soil and moved first to Hertfordshire and then to Norwich, where research and training in plant science continues.
John Innes is commemorated with a fine table tomb in the churchyard at St Mary's, Merton Park, South West London. The holly hedges in the conservation area are a reminder of his enthusiasm for holly trees.
St Mary's lies in a quiet and historic corner of south west London, in the heart of the Merton Park Conservation Area, south of Wimbledon.
A church has stood on this site since before the Domesday Book. It was founded by the Augustinian Canons who also founded Merton Priory. Parts of the present building date back to 1115.

Founded in 1910 in Tulse Hill, South London, the SLBI cares for an herbarium of both foreign and British plants. It has a beautiful botanical garden and an extensive library of botanical literature.
Many of the plants grown in the garden are of medicinal interest. They were used by apothecaries to cure different ills in the past. Others contain chemicals that were used for dyeing cloth or for food preparation.

SLBI visit to the park, July 2009
The Bandstand
The bandstand was designed by architect John Sydney Brocklesby (1874-1955) and erected in 1909 prior to the opening of John Innes Park. In 1904, following the death of John Innes and his architect Henry Goodall Quartermain, Brocklesby became the main architect for the Merton Park Estate Company. He and his new wife settled in Merton Park and he designed many houses in the “Arts and Crafts” style: the bandstand is consistent with that style. It is still used for musical and other events, including the John Innes Society’s annual midsummer “Music in the Park”.

Another English tradition, beach huts that can be hired during the summer season. However, this stretch of coastline has a huge surfing community and some of these huts are 'surf shacks' that include bunk beds.
