1929-33 | HAMPSHIRE, Southampton, Exbury Gardens
There is a large natural rock garden here, and a Lower Pond, both of which are very Pulhamesque in style. I have no proof that they actually created these gardens, but my feelings are very strong about this.

1902 | WEST SUSSEX, East Grinstead, Homestall (later Stoke Brunswick School)
Charming mixture of the formal and ‘naturalistic’ styles, and were all probably constructed by Pulhams. There is a lily pond and summerhouse etc in the formal garden, and a rock garden, stream and ponds, with occasional outcrops of Pulhamite in the outlying areas. Apart from the rock garden, which is now derelict, everything is in excellent condition. Not open to the public. Testimonial in Garden Catalogue.
