According to Edward Winter in Chess Explorations (Cadogan Chess, 1996) page 106, Chess Note 457, :
"George Jellis suspects that a chess man has been named after a street:
Just south of St. Paul's Cathedral in London is a private gated road called Nightrider Street which, I believe belongs to the Post Office and presumably derives its name from the night mail coaches of earlier days. It is only a short walk from the St. Bride's Institute, where the British Chess Problem Society has held its meetings since its foundation in 1918. Among the founder members was TR Dawson, who published his first Nightrider problem in 1925.
