Cheshire Street

Cheshire Street has reinvented itself many times over the centuries. You are walking on a road that appeared on maps as early as the mid-eighteenth century under the name Hare Street, taking its title from the open fields that once occupied this space before the dense housing of the Victorian era arrived. By the mid-twentieth century, the name had officially transitioned to Cheshire Street, reflecting the constant evolution of this corner of the East End.
