[edit] Yarrow Crescent

Sadly I think it very unlikely that Yarrow Crescent East Ham is named after the shipbuilder as suggested in this article. Yarrow Crescent E6 is one of a group of roads including Sorrel Gdns, Columbine Ave, etc, so is presumably named in honour of the wildflower rather than the shipbuilder. The only obvious references to the central place of Millwall and Blackwall in the history of shipbuilding seem to be Napier Avenue and Stewart Street E14.Pterre 14:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
