  • 2. Borough Transport Objectives
    Chapter Two Objectives 2. Borough Transport Objectives 2.1 Introduction This chapter sets out Hammersmith & Fulham’s Borough Transport Objectives for the period 2011 - 2014 and beyond, reflecting the timeframe of the revised MTS. The structure is as follows: • Sections 2.2 and 2.5 describe the local context firstly providing an overview of the borough characteristics and its transport geography, and then summarising the London- wide, sub-regional and local policy influences which have informed the preparation of this LIP. • Section 2.6 sets out Hammersmith & Fulham’s problems, challenges and opportunities in the context of the Mayor’s transport goals and challenges for London, and looks at the main issues which need to be addressed within the borough in order to deliver the revised MTS goals. • Finally section 2.7 sets out our Borough Transport Objectives for this LIP, which have been created by the issues identified in Sections 2.2 to 2.6. 2.2 About Hammersmith & Fulham The borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is situated on the western edge of inner London in a strategic location on the transport routes between central London and Heathrow airport. The orientation of the borough is north to south, with most major transport links, both road and rail, carrying through-traffic from east to west across the borough. Some of the busiest road junctions in London are located in the borough at Hammersmith Broadway, Shepherds Bush Green and Savoy Circus and the borough suffers disproportionately from the effects of through-traffic. North-south transport links in the borough are not as good as east-west links.

  • Fulham Doctors of the Past *
    FULHAM DOCTORS OF THE PAST * by A. L. WYMAN ORIGINALLY the manor of Fulham comprised both Fulham and Hammersmith but even early in the seventeenth century there was a Fulham side and a Hammersmith side, and the accounts were rendered separately. It was a village near London, situated on the Thames where the river was fordable and the gravelly soil suitable for an early settlement. This was the town where the church was built and the ferry plied to Putney. There were hamlets at Parsons Green and Walham Green and smaller ones at North End and Sands End. It was pleasant enough and convenient enough for London to attract the upper classes. The population was about 730 in the time ofEdward VI (1547/8) and over 2,000 towards the end ofthe seventeenth century. This would be in a population in England of about four million and in London of between 100,000-200,000 (1600). In Roque's map of 1813 we find much the same general pattern. The community was primarily a rural one, with employment on the land as husbandmen, gardeners, labourers, or on the river as fisherman and watermen. As late as 1801 the census shows more people engaged in agricultural pursuits than in trade. When we come to the doctors it is necessary to make a broad distinction between those who are associated with Fulham because they lived or died there and those who worked there. Some of the former were illustrious but for the most part their main activities were elsewhere and they did not provide any kind of medical service to the local inhabitants, as did the more obscure practitioners who lived and worked in the parish.

  • Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution
    BANKSIDE POWER STATION: PLANNING, POLITICS AND POLLUTION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Stephen Andrew Murray Centre for Urban History University of Leicester 2014 Bankside Power Station ii Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution Stephen Andrew Murray Abstract Electricity has been a feature of the British urban landscape since the 1890s. Yet there are few accounts of urban electricity undertakings or their generating stations. This history of Bankside power station uses government and company records to analyse the supply, development and use of electricity in the City of London, and the political, economic and social contexts in which the power station was planned, designed and operated. The close-focus adopted reveals issues that are not identified in, or are qualifying or counter-examples to, the existing macro-scale accounts of the wider electricity industry. Contrary to the perceived backwardness of the industry in the inter-war period this study demonstrates that Bankside was part of an efficient and profitable private company which was increasingly subject to bureaucratic centralised control. Significant decision-making processes are examined including post-war urban planning by local and central government and technological decision-making in the electricity industry. The study contributes to the history of technology and the environment through an analysis of the technologies that were proposed or deployed at the post-war power station, including those intended to mitigate its impact, together with an examination of their long-term effectiveness. Bankside made a valuable contribution to electricity supplies in London until the 1973 Middle East oil crisis compromised its economic viability.
