Lots of refs online to pics e.g. at https://boroughphotos.org/wandsworth/bramblebury-house-wandsworth-common-west-side/ but won't connect.
Odd bits online:
Looking for a house of this name existing in the late 1880s; my GGgrandmother wrote a letter from there in 1887 describing the Golden Jubilee but was living elsewhere by the 1891 census and unfortunately does not give the full address. If you have encountered it I would appreciate details.

A wide range of enquiries are received throughout the year and from across the world. Two intriguing enquiries recently: 'I have found a recipe book from the late 19th century and in the back is written: Miss Franks, Bramblebury, Wandsworth Common. Was this the name of a house that used to be on the common and if so, can I find out where it was and if Miss Franks lived there?'

On this occasion, the AFL did not perform the plays. The first play was Harlequin Schooled by Love by Pierre Carlet de Marivaux (1688-1763), a French dramatist.146 The play is set in Arcadia, where a fairy attempts to capture the heart of Harlequin who is in love with Sylvia. The other play was The Stolen Statue, a one-act farce written by F Anstey (1856-1934), which was performed by the Elizabeth Bessle Comedy Company.147 From the characters printed in the programme for the Oriental F�te and Bazaar, it is assumed that Anstey's play was based on the novel The Tinted Venus by F Anstey, published in 1885. In The Tinted Venus, a statue of Venus comes to life when a London hairdresser, Leander Tweddle, places a ring on her finger. Both plays deal with romance, and they are quite different from the suffrage plays usually performed by the AFL.
