Storey's Way

Storey's Way is a mainly residential road, approximately 650 metres to the west of the city centre in Cambridge, England.

It is named after Edward Storey (died 1692), a local bookseller whose will requested that, should his son die without an heir of his own, his estate was to be used to buy land in Cambridge, for almshouses for the benefit of widows of clergymen of the Established Church, and for widows and maidens 'of sober life and conversation' of the parishes of St Giles and Holy Trinity.

[4] The Foundation of Edward Storey provides sheltered accommodation to those connected with the Church of England and others in need from its base in nearby Mount Pleasant in Cambridge.

[7] The road features large detached houses built in the early 20th century, including a number designed by the Arts and Crafts Movement architect Baillie Scott.

St John's College developed a parcel of its own land on Storey's Way from the early 1990s, and maintained the interesting architectural mix of the area, including the creation of 'The Crescent', a Regency townhouse crescent revival of some repute.
