Oswald Stoll and the Armed Services.
I made a visit to a building I spotted from the number 14 bus coming back from Fulham Palace. I didn't have a clue what this building was, so I retraced my steps. I'm glad I did. From the photographs l took you will see why it caught my eye.
Firstly I would like to thank Becky Frankham, Communication Officer from Stoll housing for meeting me and showing me around the site.
So what I saw was the Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation in Fulham SW6.
Stoll was a philanthropist who donated the land in 1916 for the Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation, a charity in Fulham, for disabled soldiers returning from World War I and their families. The foundation continues to house disabled ex-servicemen and women to this day, but in addition also provides supported housing for veterans suffering from mental ill health, and those who, having left the Forces, have found themselves homeless.
So who was Oswald.
Sir Oswald Stoll (20 January 1866 – 9 January 1942) was an Australian-born British theatre manager and the co-founder of the Stoll Moss Group theatre company. He also owned Cricklewood Studios and film production company Stoll Pictures, which was one of the leading British studios of the Silent era. In 1912, he founded the Royal Variety Performance (originally Royal Command Performance) a now-annual charity show which benefits the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund.
Stoll worked with the theatre architect Frank Matcham on several theatres, including:
Nottingham Palace (1898).
Hackney Empire (1901).
London Coliseum (1904).
Bristol Hippodrome (1912).

Marketing suite for the luxury development by the Thames built on an existing jetty on the river.
Hard to track down, but since they designed the rest of the Fulham Riverside scheme, I suspect this is probably by Lifschutz Davidson, somewhere around 2013. Currently being refurbished.

In this picture, the shop is an Italian coffee and sandwich bar. Today it has changed hands and is now a Morrocan cafe doing British Sunday Lunch.
Wandsworth Bridge, designed by Sir T.Pierson Frank and built between
1936 - 1940. It replaces a five span lattice girder bridge erected in
1873 by J.H.Tolmé. This bridge over the river Thames connects Fulham on the left side to Battersea and Wandsworth on the right.
No herons, but lots of cranes.
This view was taken looking towards Central London. The bridge sequence from here is:- Battersea, Albert, Chelsea, Grosvenor (Railway), Vauxhall, Lambeth, Westminster, Hungerford (Railway and Foot), Waterloo, Blackfriars, Blackfriars (Railway), Millenium(Foot), Southwark, Cannon Street (Railway), London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
