Walsham-How Mission Hall (London)

 residence, place with historical importance, block of flats, church hall

Two mission halls were built in Noel Park, The first, called Shropshire Hall, opened in March 1885 and could seat 350 people. In 1913, a second much larger mission hall was opened nearby, named the Walsham-How Mission Hall after William Walsham-How, then leader of the Shropshire Mission to East London. Noel Park's relative geographic isolation led to the formation of large numbers of clubs and societies using the two mission halls for a wide range of activities, including large numbers of sporting societies. The hall was converted to residential flats during the second half of the 20th century. -Adapted from Wikipedia.
