Michelin House – 81 Fulham Road, Chelsea, LONDON SW3 6RD
The House was constructed in the late 1900s – 1910 and was opened for business on the 20th January 1911. Designed by Francois Espinasse (1880 – 1925). He was one of Michelin’s employees. Espinasse was an engineer working for the HQ in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Little is known of him and his work.
The Michelin House has 3 large stained-glass windows depicting the Michelin Man (Bibendum). It is made up of many panels of decorative tiles, some with just flowery designs, others with a bike (1890’s) and cars of the turn of the 20th century. The windows were taken out and removed to Stoke-on-Trent for safe keeping, however these went missing and after much searching, suppliers were found and replicas were made. In 2011 the building marked its centenary and as a result the company renewed its efforts to trace the original stained glass. A amnesty website and hotline was set up but I have no idea if it was fruitful. There are two glass tyre like constructions on the roof plus other decoration, these also disappeared.
Michelin moved from the location in 1985 and it was purchased by Paul Hamlyn (publisher) and Sir Terrence Conran who embarked on major development and restoration turning into offices for Octopus Publishing, a restaurant and oyster bar and a Conran shop all opened in 1985.
Definitely worth a visit and although we visited Friday 7th July, I wasn’t fortunate enough to see the whole building in it glory. The only downside was that is on a busy thoroughfare and it’s not easy to get the whole shot of the building without the steady stream of traffic.

St. Luke’s and Christ Church
Christchurch Street, London, SW3 4AS
The church was consecrated in 1839 due to the expansion of London. Prior to this Chelsea was open countryside. The church was essentially for working class people employed in the many grand houses in the vicinity.
The church was built in the traditional style, The Nave, Aisles and a gallery over the Aisles. It had a large pulpit in the centre but no place for a choir. A bit austere.
The church was designed by Edward Blore a very well-known individual. He designed the main front of Buckingham Palace in 1846.
In 1876 the church was gifted firstly an organ from St Michael, Queenhithe and secondly the pulpit from an unknown city church. Both these were gifts from churches that were demolished due to reconstruction of the City. In 1890 there were alterations, the nave roof was completely rebuilt, and there was further renovation to the supporting pillars between aisles and the nave. Both the west and east ends of the church were extended. Finally the western gallery and most of the old pews were removed. New larger pews were installed.
It has some lovely windows; one particularly is designed from The Creation to honour William Wilberforce and the Earl of Shaftsbury with their efforts to bring social justice into the main stream of life.

RHS Art & Photography Exhibition
This took place at the Saatchi Gallery, Duke of York’s HQ, King’s Road, London SW3 4RY. From 16th June – 9th July. It was a very successful exhibition with a large number of exhibits. Unfortunately I only had time for the Art Show but from what I saw, it was terrific. This will now be the third Exhibition and very well worth the visit, although now closed. For those that are interested, the nearest Underground station is Sloane Square.
Although I did take a number of images I wasn’t as lucky to get the entrants name and placings due to a large number of people blocking the view. What was good was the fact that RHS members go ‘Free’, a lovely sound. Finally I’m not sure that Saatchi will continue with an exhibition next year but I will be looking on line nearer the possible time in June – July.
Trust you will enjoy what has been posted and this is the first postings. Perhaps those plants that I couldn’t identify could be recognised by an expert or two in our Flickr world.
