"When it was possible, Mr Unwin and I retained the names found in the old maps or deeds … Thus is the genesis of the words Willifield, Asmuns, Temple Fortune, Wild Hatch, Bunker Hill, but when these words were exhausted we decided that the East end of the Suburb should bear the names of great lawyers such as Erskine, Denman, Chatham; the North end those of poets – Wordsworth, Coleridge; and the south end those of English artists – Turner, Linnell, Reynolds, Moreland, Cotman, Raeburn, Constable and so on. I wonder if this will interest anyone. It interested us to do.”
Henrietta Barnett, 1928, The Story of the Growth of the Hampstead Garden Suburb.
