About This Book

A local survey traces the history, boundaries, and street-level associations of Hammersmith, Fulham, and Putney, recording early place‑names, parish limits, and episodes such as Danish incursions and later military occupancy. It combines a systematic perambulation with architectural description, mapping roads, streams, and municipal borders while highlighting churches, schools, houses, and notable landmarks. Biographical and institutional notes, including the foundation and relocation of a historic school, are woven with anecdotes and topographical detail to show how past events, buildings, and street names shape the districts' present character.
