Craven Cottage is the name of a stadium in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham that has been the home ground of FA Premier League football team Fulham F.C. since 1896. The original cottage was built by Baron Craven in 1780, and at the time was situated in forest. It burnt down in 1888 and until Fulham's arrival had lain to waste.
Fulham's first match at Craven Cottage was played against Minerva in the Middlesex Senior Cup, and shortly afterwards a so-called 'Orange Box Stand' was built, making the original attendance of the stadium 1,000. It was redeveloped in 1905 following an attempt by the London County Council to close it on grounds of safety. It hosted an England vs. Wales international match in 1907 and a Rugby League international in 1911. Fulham became the first First Division club to erect floodlights in their ground in 1962. The most recently built stand is the Riverside Stand, officially named the Eric Miller stand, after a former director, which was constructed in 1972.
Chairman Jimmy Hill was the first man to draw up plans for an all-seater stadium at Craven Cottage, following the Taylor Report into the Hillsborough disaster. They never materialised, and current Chairman Mohammed Al-Fayed realised the need to renovate the stadium as his plans to make Fulham a Premiership side within five years began to materialise. It was decided a groundshare with neighbours Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road was necessary while refurbishments went on. By the time the last league game was played, against Leicester City on April 27, 2002, no building plans had been made. Two more Intertoto Cup games were played there later that year, before which a one year stretch at Loftus Road started. This turned into two as the Fulham Alliance, a small residents' pressure group, stalled new stadium plans.
The current stadium is not the 33,000 state of the art ground Fulham fans would like to see - it is a compromise at 22,000 capacity, which at least lets Fulham play at their spiritual home. Much admired for its fine architecture, the ground hosted its first game post-Loftus Road on Saturday 10 July 2004.
Craven Cottage is where most Fulham fans would like to be, although the club might prefer a more lucrative situation - a larger ground enabling greater ticket revenue. Whether the club is looking for a new site for a stadium is unknown, but recent comments from CEO Jim Hone suggest Fulham are back home for good, probably.
Craven Cottage's record attendance was 49,335 for a match against Millwall in October 1938.

Captured by RICHARD JONES where SW6.919 is viewed standing in Sturt Street at the City Road intersection, along with many other trams, having been diverted from St Kilda Road and terminated short of the city due to the Moomba procession in March 1970.
This section of the South Melbourne Beach line was closed when the diversion via Nolan Street opened a few days later.

A very decent menu, rather pricy, at this posh gastropub with many many beers. They have such a good range of beers, they've suggested matches for all the food here. At The White Horse, Parsons Green.

A memory from my Melbourne years when in August 1993 SW6.965 started carrying AOA for Australian Air Express (First Flight) in what was to be its last advertising stint.
Previous advertising stints were:
1988
August: Advertising Maxwells
1989
February: Advertising Channel 7
1990
April: Advertising Bushells Tea
1991
June: Advertising Daimaru
1993
February: Advertising Australia Post
In October 2005 SW6.965 was restored to original condition to be presented to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Princess Mary. Then on Thursday, 10th November, 2005, SW6.965 was presented to the Danish Consul General, Jorgen Mollegaard, by the Victorian Transport Minister, Peter Batchelor, at a function at Preston Workshops.
On Tuesday, 23rd May, 2006, there was the official inauguration of "the royal tram" into the Danish Tramway Museum's fleet. The vehicle is owned by HRH Crown Prince Frederik and HRH Crown Princess Mary. The Danish Tramway Museum is located in the town of Skjoldenæsholm, about 65 kilometres southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. The Danish Tramway Historical Society, was founded on 8 February 1965. The Society's aims are to extend knowledge of public transport in an apolitical and idealistic manner.
The tram is northbound on Swanston St. at the Little Collins St. corner. Photographer unknown.
A view of 965 operating at the Danish museum can be found at:

Slide scan of another memory from my Melbourne years captured during the first half of the 1990s showing the tram laying over on the stub track.
At right is the Melbourne city remand centre.
Probably taken in 1994 not long after this short section of line was installed.
Car 889 (Class SW6, MMTB Preston Workshops, 1943) works Line 42 outward in High Street, Kew.
This location is just east of Kew Junction. The curved track in the foreground has been relaid as a tangent segment . . . perhaps to reduce interference of motor traffic by trams.

Country: Britain & Cuba (British resident). Style: Jazz - Modern.
Lineup: Courtney Pine (soprano sax/EWI), Omar Puente (violin), Cameron Pierre (g), Darren Taylor (b), Robert Fordjour (d).
Courtney Pine was born in London to Jamaican parents. He came to the fore with the Jazz Warriors in the mid 1980s, and has since led his own bands. In recent years this has included the Cuban violinist Omar Puente, who I photographed in a very different musical context at the Celebrating Sanctuary Festival: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157627027385999/.
