With more than 100 roads and streets in Ipswich, do you some times wonder how their names were created?

Here are five Ipswich roads and the meaning behind their names according to The Ipswich Society. 

1-Tudor Place 

This is located off Woodbridge Road near Christchurch Street. 

It was named as it led to Tudor's Circus which was held for many years on the meadow and stood adjacent to the Mulberry Tree. 

The circus closed in 1904 and the Drill Hall was built on part of the site. 

2- Sherrington Road 

This road commemorates Sir Charles Scott Sherrington who discovered the physiology of the brain, which he later received a Nobel Prize for in 1932. 

He attended Ipswich School from 1871 to 1876 and later married into the Wright family of Preston Manor in Suffolk.  

3- Hossack Road 

This road commemorates James Francis Clark Hossack who was a local doctor for the East Suffolk and Ipswich Hospital. 

He also was a member of the Borough Council from 1908 to 1929 representing St Margaret's Ward. 

Then in 1929 became a mayor and an alderman in 1930. 

4- Murray Road 

The owners of the land across which the road was cut were the Cobbold family. 

John Dupuis Cobbold of Holy Wells married Lady Evelyn Murray, daughter of the 7th Earl of Dunmore. 

5- Dog's Head Street 

The name is derived from the Dog's Head in the Pot inn which stood at the north-east end of the street or lane as it was called on the Ogilby map of 1674.
