Pitt Place in St Albans – formerly Pitt Street. Named after George Pitts (1837?-1915). George Pitts ran the Springfield Brewery. The business is mentioned in the Star in 1879 in an advertisement. In street directories of 1890, George Pitts and also Pitts & Co., Springfield Brewery of Springfield Road, are listed. Pitt Street first appears in street directories in 1904. Before this the street is listed as a right-of-way. The street is sited on the land once used for the Springfield Brewery.Re-named Pitt Place on 1 September 1948 when 120 streets were re-named.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website. Very little information on Papers Past apart from a few death notices. Most houses here were built in the 1970s but I quite liked the one older house from 1940s. I walked this street back in August 2022.
Just checked various old maps and there seems to be a stream that runs at the end of the street.
