Oswald Stoll and the Armed Services.
Last week 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).
The Mosa Cafe. A Moroccan cafe that serves English breakfasts and
Sunday lunch and also offers Moroccan cuisine.
Sunday afternoon in Fulham. This branch of WH Smith will provide postal services when the main Fulham Post Office closes in the near future.
