This street is named after the eminent Victorian James Noah Paxman who co-founded the Standard Iron Works in Colchester in 1865. Paxmans was a major employer in the town until the late 1980/90s. It was Paxmans who made the engines for the HS125 diesel locomotives. MAN Diesel still have a small presence in the town on the former Paxmans site
