Herbs Place in Cashmere – formerly Herbs Lane. Named after Herbert Francis Arnold Anthony (1907-1984). Anthony was a glazier who also owned a market garden there. Des Petherbridge bought the land and sub-divided it, forming the lane. First appears in street directories in 1991 as Herbs Lane and becomes Herbs Place post-1997.
A reasonable of information from the library website and nothing that I can add to this information about the name. The s on the end of a street name is always a good indicator that it was named after a person. Most of the houses here were built in the 1980s and nothing stood out for me.
