The Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicle newspaper (formerly the Fulham Chronicle) started life on 6 April 1888, produced at an office in Walham Green, Fulham. The first edition stated that the newspaper was set up "to supply the need which is felt in this district for a genuinely local journal." One of its first part-time editors, was Charles James Feret, who later became known as the 'Historian of Fulham'.
