Fanshaw Street, N1

Named in 1878, this was formerly two streets of which the eastern was East Street and the western Robert Street (see Aske Street).

The new name possibly commemorates a family called Featherstonehaugh (often pronounced Fanshawe) who held land here in the 18th century and owned nearby Pimlico House.
