Amherst Street was renamed because the doctor whom it was named after was not a good person. He wanted to get rid of "native" people. He went as far as purposely giving them blankets laced with smallpox. This might be offensive to Indigenous people of Britain to celebrate him and have to see his name publicly displayed.
