Palace Wharf was built in 1907, replacing a malt house. An extension facing Rainville Road was added in 1933. For many years the wharf was the 'Rathbone Works' of fibrous plaster firm, George Jackson & Sons, founded in Rathbone Place off Oxford Street in the early 19th century. Jacksons' made the new plasterwork for Hammersmith's rebuilt Lyric Theatre.
