Fulwell, London
Fulwell is a neighbourhood of outer West London in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It straddles the west of the "ancient" parish and urban district borders of Twickenham and Teddington.
The area is not a postal district. There are two busy crossroads in the area: Hospital Bridge Road and Sixth Cross Road meet where they cross Staines Road (Twickenham), and where Sixth Cross Road, Hampton Road, South Road and Wellington Road all meet. Sixth Cross Road is one of six similarly named roads between Staines Road and Hampton Road, commencing with First Cross Road at Twickenham Green. There is a post office named Fulwell Park at the corner of Staines Road and Hospital Bridge Road. There are two pubs in Fulwell proper, on the corners of Staines and Sixth Cross Roads and Hampton and South Roads, and there is a large garden centre at the corner of Sixth Cross and Wellington Roads.
Fulwell has an Anglican parish church, St Michael's, which, after a 15-year closure, was reopened for worship in 2014 and regained parish status in 2019.
The name is first known in documents of the fifteenth century. It may be from a reliably full well or a corruption of foul well. Until 1965, Fulwell was in the historic county of Middlesex.
The place name is used in Richmond Borough Council's electoral district (ward) name, Fulwell and Hampton Hill, In 2009, a proposal to remove Fulwell from the electoral ward name was rejected.
Fulwell railway station, Fulwell Golf Course, Fulwell bus garage, Fulwell Park Avenue (Twickenham, TW2) and Fulwell Road (Teddington, TW11) all use the place name.
Fulwell has migrated south, and/or reduced in size, as maps from the late nineteenth century showed it spanning onto the north bank of the Crane, which lies in Whitton. It formed the southern extent of Hounslow Heath and the near-surface raised Taplow gravel that defined it. A reference to assarts at Fulwell dating from around 1200 are amongst the earliest records of the name. The area was progressively enclosed for agriculture and was increasingly urbanised, beginning in the Victorian period of metropolitan expansion of outer London.
Although the Fulwell area was historically in Middlesex, in 1965 it became a part of the London Borough of Richmond in the newly formed ceremonial county of Greater London. Until 1965, it was in the Municipal Borough of Twickenham.
