History

This street follows the path of the Mere Way, the Roman road from Cambridge to Ely. In 1854, after the parliamentary enclosure, the Worts' Trustees planned to make the road passable for carriages between Butt Lane and Landbeach, but only enough money was raised to improve the stretch southwards from Cockfen Lane to the farmhouses.
