    What’s in a name? Carnarvon Street

    Thursday, October 27th, 2016

    Carnarvon Street was built in 1879 as two rows of cottages and a two-storey house. For three years until 1882, it was known as Maxwell Street. It is named after Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert, the Earl of Carnarvon, who served as Colonial Secretary of Canada, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and wrote a number of prominent essays.
