The most likely John Harrison to have a street named in this former maritime district is this one. Wikipedia says :- "John Harrison (3 April [O.S. 24 March] 1693 – 24 March 1776) was a self-educated English carpenter and clockmaker who invented a marine chronometer, a long-sought-after device for solving the problem of calculating longitude while at sea." There are undoubtedly other John Harrisons, so this is only a guess.
