Geocache Description:


Eel Brook Common is common land in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, close to Fulham Broadway tube station, with its southern boundary on New Kings Road, Chelsea. According to the Fulham Society, the name actually is a derivative of 'hill brook common' - which relates to Musgrave Crescent, which is raised much higher than the surrounding land. It is believed that this is artificial and it probably was originally a Bronze Age mound - either a raised piece of ground to defend against attackers, or as a burial mound. When you leave Eel Brook Common from the north side, you go up a steep ramp - up onto Musgrave Crescent.

The common is not particularly remarkable, but for the fact that in 1883 and 1891 a then local amateur football team, Fulham F.C., played their home games there.


During WWII, an underground bunker was located under Eel Brook Common; this was to protect residents from the Luftwaffe- especially during the Blitz period. Hence why Eel Brook Common is uGrenusually flat.

 

The Cache:

I am inclined to mark this as wheelchair accesible but I am waiting to hear from you if it is.

Please replace exactly as found and do not take picture of it. Please bring a pen as the logbook MUST be signed for you to log it as a find. Pictures of the log not accepted. I will delete without notice the logs than can’t be matched to a signature on the logbook.
