Historic Green Street, Cambridge.

Green St was first laid out in 1614, as High Warde Lane, running from Trinity St, narrowing to a passage to join Sidney St. Named after Oliver Green, 1563-1623, from Gonville and Caius college, who owned the land. Another version of the name, Green St, is that it was named  after the boards that were put in front of doors and windows at the time of the plague, 1665, were removed, green grass had grown behind them. Today it is a listed, Georgian, market town side street, which has been enhanced over the years, with many individual shops and cafes
