Sutton Street, one of the earliest new streets in early 19th century London, reflects rapid urbanization with its construction completed in the 1820s.
The arrival of the railway in the 1860s transformed Sutton Street, leading to the demolition of houses and the innovative reuse of building materials.
Named after Archbishop Charles Manners-Sutton, Sutton Street was pivotal in the evolution of the area from fields to urban infrastructure.
The first train ran over the new railway tracks in December 1863, marking a significant development in public transport and urban connectivity.
