    1. [ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND] Deptford Street Names
    2. ROB SHEPHERD
    3. I thought it would be interesting to ask if anyone has any ideas about who some of the streets in Deptford were named after. To get the ball rolling here are a few I think are likely but would love to hear any other contributions: Aylmer Street - after Lt.General Aylmer owner of lands in Deptford Jobling Street - possibly after the wife of Phillip Laing - Anne Jopling or Jobling Harrison Street - possibly after John Harrison, owner of Deptford Lands or maybe Anne Harrison the wife of Arthur Aylmer Exhibition Terrace - possibly named at the time of the Great Exhibition of 1851 Wellington Lane and Street - Wellington farm existed a Deptford in years gone, perhaps named after the original farm and owners Hanover Place - this street is home to The George IV Inn. George was a member of the Hanover Royal Family....hence the street name perhaps? Any others? Cheers Rob
