The corner of Spout street and Canal street

The corner of St. Edward Street formerly Spout Street, a name in use by 1637; the present name of St. Edward Street was adopted in 1866 and Canal Street, renamed Broad Street in 1881. Haywood Street that also forms one of the roads was built in the mid 1870s and named after Leonard Haywood Shoobridge, who owned the land.
