An information panel at Gordon Square showing roads in the area named by Sir Horatio Davies after family members and friends. Ethel, Florence, Violet, Blake, Mabel and Cyril were six of his children, and his friends included the Dukes of Cambridge and Devonshire, the Earls of Oxford and Tavistock and Lord Burleigh. Apparently members of the family continued to sit on the board responsible for the naming of local roads until Local Government reorganisation in the 1960s.
