Dist:0.5km north<br/>The library is located at 598 Fulham Road, SW6. Reviewing the old large scale Ordnance Survey maps of the area it is evident that the building was not present in 1898 but it was in 1920. The building is substantially longer than the frontage seen here.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This road is distinguished by the magnificent collection of London Plane trees in the pavements along both sides. One wonders how many residents have been to see [[260570]].

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This cedar of lebanon tree trunk has been carved by Andrew Frost, with figures of bishops and some of their accoutrements carved in cedar. On top is a sculpture of Bishop Porteus (Bishop of London from 1787-1809). He was a campaigner for the abolition of the slave trade and left his collection of books to create the library at which he is staring - information from http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/externalsite/Fulhampalace/The_Gardens.asp . The tree has been carved in memory of Peter Moorhouse (1957-2003), a local resident.

Dist:0.6km east<br/>This is the Beaconsfield Walk entrance to the station; the other entrance is in Parsons Green Lane and is shown in an earlier Geograph. The station opened on 1st March 1880 when the District Railway extended its West Brompton branch southwards to what is now Putney Bridge. In 1889 the line was extended further south to Wimbledon by the London & South Western Railway. Parsons Green is today served by District Line trains from Wimbledon to both Edgware Road and Upminster.
