Sepia-tinted real photo postcard of crescent-shaped lake in Bishop's Park, Fulham. Ink: Dear Miss Crawford, Have just received your P.C. Please to hear you are improving. I have not gone back to school yet. Mother didn't want me to. I think I am going away for a change. I'm sorry to say Mrs. Gill is very bad. Not much hope. Mr. Gill was away from school this afternoon so Anne B. told me. Kind regards from all. Yours Sincerely, Margaret Lonsdale [address in Bradford 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
