An application has been received to assign five of the following names to the five new blocks on the site of Kerrin Point, Hotspur Street, SE11:
Prichard House
Marson Court
Hammond Court
William King House
Crecy Court
Oakley House
Aragon Court
The following names have been proposed as a result of research undertaken by the Lambeth Archives:
In 1871 the publican of the Black Prince Public House was James Hammond.
The site was occupied from 1881 to 1920 by William King, cab proprietor.
The Black Prince, with whom the area is associated, fought at the battle of Crecy.
The name Aragon was proposed by the applicant on the basis that Catherine of Aragon was a regular resident of the former Kennington Palace in nearby Sancroft Street prior to its demolition by Henry VIII in 1531.
Please let Councillor Steve Morgan know if you have any objections to these names: srmorgan@lambeth.gov.uk
