History

The street was one of those in the area developed in the mid-nineteenth century by William Henry Jenkins, originally of Herefordshire, and William Kinnaird Jenkins, who leased land on the Ladbroke Estate from 1844. [1] [2] The origins of the Jenkins is reflected in the many Hereford and Welsh names used in local streets such as Chepstow and the nearby Pembridge, Ledbury and Denbigh. [3]
