Why is it called Shepherd's Bush Market?

Hammersmith & CityCircle

Where the name comes from

Opened in 1864 as Shepherd's Bush; renamed Shepherd's Bush Market in 2008 to avoid confusion among three stations called Shepherd's Bush. The district name is thought to come from shepherds resting on the common on their way to Smithfield Market, or from a local person.
