Saint Martin's Mission was originally known as Rackham Hall as it was situated on Rackham Street.

It was built by Mr Allen, a local builder. It was the Mission Church of Saint Michael and All Angels, Ladbroke Grove.

After 1916 it become a parish stretching from Ladbroke Grove to St Quintin's Park.

The area was bombed during the Second World War, and the whole of Rackham Street disappeared in the early 1950s.

A theory discussed about the photo is that it may show the last days of Rackham Street as people were packing to move out.
