Uncoloured card of crescent-shaped lake and bridge in Bishop's Park, Fulham. Ink: Dear C just a line to you to ask you if you are going to see Clara on Sunday write and let me know then I will write to her hope you are well with love from Edie [address in Wimbledon supplied]. Bishop's Park was opened in 1893, consisting of land in the precincts and vicinity of All Saints' Church, Fulham.. The area had formerly been known as Bishop's Meadow, but had become derelict dumping ground, and the Bishop made it a condition of the donation that an embankment be built on the Thames; the District Board of Works, unable to finance the project, transferred the site to the London County Council, which built the embankment in 1889-93, The park was laid out by J. P. Norrington, the Vestry Surveyor. Fruther areas were added to the park over the following decade. The park was restored with aid from the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2011
