It was a very short street - about 14 houses on each side. It was likely named after a) George Canning, Prime Minister, or (more likely b) his son Charles, who was Gov Gen of India at the time of the Indian Mutiny. He may have been known to John Hargreaves, who owned the land it was built on in 1861
