"Mr. J. Brown moved the adoption of this report, which, in addition to the usual statement of ordinary accounts, contained the following:- Your committee have named the new streets between Castlereagh Road and Cregagh Road Jocelyn Avenue, Kingscourt Street, Leitrim Street, Moneyrea Street, Newry Street, Omeath Avenue, Portobello Street, Quinton Street, Rostrevor Street and Euston Street...”. (Northern Whig - Saturday 02 September 1882)
Euston Street was one of six streets off Willowfield Street whose names formed an alphabetical sequence from A to F. Most of these have been cleared. However, Euston Street was considerably longer than the others and formed the main thoroughfare through the estate. Euston was the first inter-city railway station in London, opened in 1837. It was named after Euston Hall in Suffolk, the seat of the Duke of Grafton, who was the main landowner around the station.
