It is likely this road takes its name from Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) who led the English armies against King Charles I during the English Civil War. He went on to rule the British Isles from 1653 until his death in 1658. He was also commander of the English campaign in Ireland in 1649-1650 when his forces defeated the Confederate and Royalist coalition in Ireland bringing an end to the Irish Confederate Wars. The street next to it is called Ireton Street. Henry Ireton was married to Oliver Cromwell's daughter Bridget.
