Knock Fergus, E1
Stepney
Knock Fergus was absorbed into Cable Street during the 1860s.

It was a wonderful and quirky name - Knock Fergus may have been a reference to the large numbers of Irish residents there.

However the Knock Fergus name is old and found in the St Dunstan Stepney registers in the early 1600s.

It became New Road for a while before it was absorbed into Cable Street.
