Peter Street in Liverpool was a notorious 19th-century red-light district, which may have contributed something to the later popularity of that name.

The name “Peter Street” first appears in a publications by Maurice Hime in 1809, and P. Alday c. 1815, both Dublin music publishers where it was printed in both issues as “A Favourite Dance—as danc’d at Peter Street,” a reference perhaps to Dublin's Peter Street. The Royal Amphitheatre, Peter Street, was a venue built by Phillip Astley for his circus, the first in Ireland (Astley also had similar venues in London and Edinburgh) which operated from 1789 to 1812. In addition, the stage was used for plays, musical theater and ballets. Tom Cooke's (1783-1848) pantomime '''The Marriage of Peleus and Thetis; or, Harlequin Paris''' was staged there in 1802 and relied heavily on traditional Irish dance tunes for its overture and content.  Due east, across the Irish Sea, Peter Street in Liverpool was a notorious 19th-century red-light district, which may have contributed something to the later popularity of that name. The reel "Peter Street" appears in a repertoire list brought by Philip Goodman, the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth, to the Feis Ceoil in Belfast in 1898 (Breathnach, 1997). John Hartford thinks the tune hints of "[[Olive Branch Hornpipe]]" (or perhaps, more correctly, vice-versa).
