Place Name
Charles Bryantwood was a landlord who leased 12 newly built terraced houses in Highbury Hill Park, later Drayton Park, in 1868. Messrs. Bryant & Tinneswood, the builders, had originally intended to call it Hobart Street and their application in 1868 was accepted by the Metropolitan Board of Works but given the size of the purchase they agreed to name the street after the landlord and this was approved. In 1870 only numbers 1 – 22 were occupied, but by 1871, further houses were.
