Love your videos, David - I'm always looking forward to the next one. The origins of street names around Myddleton Street are worth mentioning, commemorating Hugh Myddleton, who undertook to create the New River in 1609, and other people associated with it, Samuel Garnault, William Inglebert and William Chadwell Mylne. Other streets refer to the Percy, Vernon and Prideaux families who served the New River Company. Amwell and Chadwell Street refer to the sources of the New River in Hertfordshire.
