Although the spelling of this St Helier street became Phillips, at least as early as 1874, we believe that the original correct spelling was with a single 'l', as shown on the 1834 Le Gros map of St Helier. The street was named after the developer's son Philip; along with Charles Street, Peter Street, Ann Street, Hilary Street and Wesley Street, all in the same area.
