Inscription

Erected in memory of S. L. Swaab Esq. His knowledge like a spring of refreshing water flowed ever during life for the relief of the suffering.

Site: West London Free School (2 memorials)

W6, King Street, 241, Palingswick House

From Fulham SW6: "Palingswick House was originally built around 1849 as a family home, but over the years has been used as an orphanage and workhouse, the orphanage's superintendent’s house, a school, children’s home, hostel for diabetic children and a community resource centre." The West London Free School was set up in 2011 and moved here a few years afterwards following a planning application.

Swaab died at 266 King Street, a short distance to the west, on the north side of this road.

If this rather barren 60s paved area looks familiar perhaps you recognise it from the first scene in Antonioni's Blowup, from 1966.
