Francis Edward Street (16 February 1851 – 4 June 1928) was an English cricketer who played in four first-class matches for Kent County Cricket Club during the mid-1870s. He was a right-handed batsman who played regular club cricket.[1]
Street was born at Hampstead in Middlesex in 1851, the son of Henry and Jane Street. His father was a solicitor.[1] Street was educated at Uppingham School where he played cricket in the school team.[2] He played club cricket for Uppingham Rovers in the 1880s, and for other amateur teams such as Beckenham, Free Foresters, Incogniti, and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).[1][3]
Living for a time at Brasted in Kent, he made his first-class debut for Kent in 1875 against Derbyshire, making two further appearances the same year against Sussex and playing in the return match against Derbyshire. He played his final first-class appearance in 1877 against Nottinghamshire.[1][2] Street had little success in his four appearances, scoring just 21 runs, with a high score of 12.[2] He was described in Scores and Biographies as "A promising bat and good field, generally taking long-leg or cover-point."[3]
Street worked as a chartered accountant. He married Sarah Partridge in 1883; the couple had five children. He died at Armidale, New South Wales in 1928 aged 77 whilst visiting Australia.[1][4]
