About the Bedford Charity (Harpur) Estate

Emerald Street

Also known as Green Street

Not to be confused with Green Street, Grosvenor Square, Green Street, Leicester Square, or any other Green Street in London

It formed one of the boundaries of the Bedford Charity (Harpur) estate after 1654

It was originally named either after Edmond Greene (headmaster of Bedford School) or after the nearby bowling green and cockpit area

In the late nineteenth century there was a rear entrance here to French’s Dairy in Chapel Street
