Emerson Street – Probably named after Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803- 1882). Emerson was an American essayist. Probably named to continue the theme of “poets and writers” streets of Sydenham, Addington and Waltham. A wee bit of information from the library website.
A very short little street with Salvation Army Hostel on one side and flats on the other side. The Salvation Army is bounded by several streets. A street that I prefer to avoid.
