Place Name
James Green, Judith Filson, and Margaret Watson in The Streets of Richmond and Kew suggest this street first mentioned in the rate books of 1820 may have been a reference to the Act of Parliament creating the Union with Ireland in 1801. The real reason may be a little more prosaic, the name was popular at the time to suggest a link, usually between two streets but possibly, in this case, the joining together of two businesses. The court itself was redeveloped in 1980.
