The Munster Park Church, was a fine gothic Lycett church designed by James Weir of Westminster, but demolished in 1971. The present church is a skilful adaptation of the hall in the adjoining Institute building. The communion table from the former Munster Road United Methodist Church and the sanctuary chairs from the former Wandsworth Bridge Road Primitive Methodist Church remain as silent witnesses to Methodist Union.

Paris Lane went from Walham Green on the line of Dawes Road to junction with Bishop's Road

Clem Atlee Estate 1960s Fulham's post-war showpiece begun in 1955 J. Pritchard Lovell, three Y-shaped point blocks overlooking Normand Park - a typically Corbusian conjunction. The towers were the highest in Fulham when built.  Equally typical of the large estate of this date are the jaunty caps to the water tanks, and the contrast with the dull lower terraces behind in a poorly landscaped setting, where two taller towers have been crammed in later.

292 Library especially fanciful. F.Wood in the ground floor of the East point block.

Many have been converted into flats; others demolished.  There is some open space.  In the south west of this square the earliest railway in London and the first suburban railway in the world - the London and Greenwich - runs, along with other lines going in to London Bridge. Away from the river the area was intensely industrialised with factories of all sorts in streets along with housing which dated mainly either from the 19th or 20th council estates.  Of particular note in this area was the vast Peek Frean biscuit factory - now largely a location for small businesses. There were also glue works, preserves, baking chemicals and much else - with some works associated with the Bermondsey Leather industry.  The...
