Treverton Street was one of a number of streets built in the 1870s as Ladbroke Grove was extended northwards.
Originally, Treverton Street was accompanied by Rackham Street, Hewer Street, Raymede Street, Branstone Street and Bransford Street in a block bounded by Exmoor Street, Ladbroke Grove, Barlby Road and Saint Charles Square.
A rather poor area, the area was marked for redevelopment and improvement in a 1935 plan. However, the Second World War intervened before much could take place.
A huge bomb fell on Rackham Street during the Blitz, making the area surrounding unfit for habitation.
In 1950, the area was largely levelled and new blocks taking the place of the old houses.
