History behind the street/road names Langley mill replied on: 10/1/2005 6:26:35 PM BRIDGE ST-I assume it was called this because of the Iron Bridge at the top of the Street. EAST VIEW TERRACE-the view from the front of the Terrace is to the East-over the (at one time) brickworks and railway line-known locally as "Penders Row" (when I was young, anyway)-the terrace was built by Mr Pender-whether it was ever officially called Penders Row, I don't know? WESLEY ST-probably named after John Wesley-and of course the Weslyan chapel was on the corner of the st UPPER/LOWER DUNSTEAD ROAD-this area was called Dunstead-and there was Dunstead house GLADSTONE, ARGYLE, CAMPBELL , QUEEN ST-these were named after notable people of the day-but what about the St which runs across the top of them BANK ST? Who or what was that named after?
