Fairchild Place is a short side street in Shoreditch.
History[]
The north-south stretch was once known as George Street, while a grimmer east-west length at the far end of this alley would have been known as Three Cup Alley. When Great Eastern Street was created in 1877 it demolished most of the buildings around the alleys, but the rough layout remained intact, and the entire alley was called George Street. Down the far end, the alley turns a right into the former Three Cup Alley, and into a dead-end.[1]
In the early 20th century, it was renamed Fairchild Place though, possibly after Thomas Fairchild who used to live locally, and is also remembered in a Fairchild’s Garden.[2]
