As a backwater the riverside appealed to arty types.
One of those basements is a museum to William Morris the 19th century
designer of various things who lived in the house above in the 1870's.

There are still artists studios in St Peters Wharf. Just around the corner from
Hammersmith Terrace. They hold garage sale type exhibitions every year or
so. Artists more arty types will have heard of such as Victor Passmore,
Eric Ravilious, and Eric Gill (the dog shagger) have lived or worked in the
locality. Among many others. As well as Johnston, Emery Walker who with
J.Cobdon Sanderson set up the Doves Press and Bindery in Doves passage
lived in Hammersmith Terrace. Unfortunately they fell out and in a hissy fit Cobden
Sanderson threw all the matrices for the Doves type into the Thames from
Hammersmith Bridge. Presumably having passed the lead mills on the way.
