Have you ever wondered how these Ipswich roads got their names?

Ipswich is rich with history, with many roads dating back hundreds of years.

Earlier this year we revealed the meaning behind seven of the town's road names. 

Here are five more that we have uncovered the origins of.

Bancroft Terrace

Bancroft Terrace was named after William Bantoft, who was the town clerk between 1883 and 1924. 

Beatty Road

The road commemorates David, the first Earl Beatty, who was Admiral of the Fleet. 

The road celebrates his service during the First World War. 

Benezet Street

This road was named after Antony Benezet, who was part of the anti-slavery movement. 

The Frenchman first came to England in 1731 and later went to Pennsylvania, where he campaigned for the anti-slavery cause. 

Dog's Head Street

The name derived from the inn The Dog's Head in the Pot, which used to be on the north-east end of the lane in 1674. 

Hossack Road

The road was named after James Francis Clark Hossack, a doctor at the East Suffolk and Ipswich Hospital and a member of the borough council between 1908 and 1929. 

The information on the road names has been taken from the Ipswich Society.
