Caishowe Road, WD6

Caishowe Road links Odyssey Road with Hartforde Road in Borehamwood

Caishowe Road seems to have been named after the Caishowe Hundred, an administrative division of Hertfordshire which included Elstree and Borehamwood. The hundred was known as Albanestou at the time of the Domesday Survey, and in the twelfth century was usually called the hundred of St. Albans. The name Cashio does not appear to have come into general use till after the sixteenth century.

Both Caishowe Road and Hartforde Road seem to have been faux-medieval names both gaining an extra E compared with their namesakes.

The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
