Oh. That Sheaffe Street


From the June 28, 2013, Hamilton (Canada) Spectator "Namesakes."

In Hamilton, Canada, Sheaffe Street runs between Bay and Park streets and is named for Sir Roger Hale Scheaffe (1763-1851), a senior officer in the British Army who fought in the French Revolution wars and the War of 1812.

He was a Loyalist general in 1812 and made a baronet in 1813 after succeeding General Isaac Brock as commander and Lt. Governor of Upper Canada.

So, If You're Ever in Hamilton.... --Brock-Perry
