The
County of London was formed in 1889 from parts of the ancient counties
of Middlesex, Kent and Surrey, with
the City of London remaining an independent body. In 1965 Greater
London was formed, taking in the rest of Middlesex (which no
longer existed as a county) together with parts of Essex and Hertfordshire
and further areas of Kent and Surrey.
Greater
London is made up of 13 Inner and 19 Outer London boroughs together
with the City of London.
Hammersmith and Fulham once lay in Middlesex and
is today one of the 13 boroughs making up Inner London. It borders
the River Thames to its south and to the east the London borough of
Kensington and Chelsea.

The abolitionist
Granville Sharp died in Fulham in 1813. Together with a group
of abolitionists which included Thomas Clarkson and William Wilberforce
he campaigned against the trade in people. In 1833, twenty years after
his death, his work would bear fruit when Parliament passed a law
which finally ended slavery in the British Empire and its colonies. |
