Was Television Invented in Bedford Park?
In 1908 John Wellesly Lynn, a resident of Fielding Road, registered a patent he believed would make his fortune - the 'LynnoScope' . Was this the origin of modern TV…right here in Bedford Park?
Lynn described his invention as “..an instrument which will enable you to see around the world with images sent through the air with the aid of electricity. By using it in London it will be possible to present an actual reflection of the Derby as it is being run”.
He went on “…I do not mean a living cinematograph picture, but an actual reflection of the event as it is in progress”.
Great Progress In The Bedford Park Minecraft Project
We are making progress with the first cohort of young people who are building Bedford Park as part of the wider 'Chiswick In Minecraft' project. More details on the project can be found here. We have the corner of Bath Road, Abinger and Lonsdale Road laid down and an intrepid group of young players are starting to build Turnham Green tube station. But we need more players so if you know of any children who would be interested in playing please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.
