B15 - Grid reference SP056861

First record 1565

The area around the top end of Broad Street is now generally known as Five Ways. This crossroads was so-named when it had five roads and was recorded as early as 1565. By rights it should have been renamed Six Ways when Calthorpe Road was added in 1820.
