It is noted in (S3) that the widening of the Purfleet Bridge (NHER 46575) in 1806 saw the clearance of buildings to the south of the bridge, removing the northern side of a small east-west street called Wrestlers' Street. In 1809 this widened area was named Purfleet Place. In 1840 James Fysh employed a builder, William Johnson, to rebuild houses he owned there, giving them brown brick façades. These are the three houses now known as 1-3 Purfleet Place.
