Descriptions

from A New View of London, by Edward Hatton (1708)

Panton yard, on the NE side of Windmill str. or N. side of Coventry str. near Pickadilly.

from A Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster, by John Strype (1720)

[Panton Yard.] Near unto the Corner of Windmill-street is Crown Yard, a Place for Stabling: And a little farther is Panton Yard, a very large Place for Stabling and Coach-houses, there being one large Yard within another. This Place is designed to be built into Streets, taking up a large Piece of Ground, and, according to Probability, will turn to better Advantage than at present.

from London Past and Present: Its History, Associations, and Traditions, by Henry Benjamin Wheatley and Peter Cunningham (1891)

[Panton Square.] Arundel Street, leading from the north side of Coventry Street to Panton Square. So called from the Lords Arundel of Wardour; rated to the poor, for the first time, in the books of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields under the year 1673; and then and there described as "next Coll. Panton's tenements." [See Wardour Street.] In the New View of London, 1708, and in Strype's Map, 1720, it is called Panton's Yard. In Dodsley, 1761, neither Arundel Street nor Panton's Yard is set down.
