Chalkhill Road is situated in the locality of
Hammersmith.
There is evidence of occupation of some riverside areas around Hammersmith as far back as
Roman and
Saxon times, and the area was referred to in the
Domesday Book. The name may possibly be a shortening of "Hamoder's Hythe", i.e. the landing-place of a man named Hamoder.
The arrival of the railways caused development to begin. Consequently, house construction and industrial development flourished. Major industrial sites included the
Osram lamp factory at
Brook Green, and the largest municipal power station in Britain, built near the gasworks in
Sands End. Both have subsequently closed.
