Background
History
Berwick Street was built between 1687 and 1703, and is believed to be named after James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick. Several buildings constructed in the 1730s are still standing, such as the Green Man public house at No. 57, which was built in 1738. A non-conforming church in Berwick Street was opened in 1689. A new church designed by Edward Blore and dedicated to St Luke, was consecrated on 23 July 1839. A major cholera outbreak was centred around Berwick Street in 1854. Kemp House is at No. 90. It was constructed between 1959-61 by L. C. Hollbrook.
