A largely residential road west of the centre with two college entrances, a conservation area and a charity's long history.
Storey's Way lies about 650 metres west of the city centre, in the Castle ward, and is largely given over to housing. Its two ends feed into Huntingdon Road and Madingley Road, the big roads that bound it.
Edward Storey, a local bookseller who died in 1692, gave the road its name through his will. If his son left no heir, the estate was to buy Cambridge land for almshouses: they would house widows of Church of England clergy, along with widows and maidens "of sober life and conversation" living in St Giles and Holy Trinity parishes. In 1805 some 42 acres around what is now this L-shaped plot were allotted to Storey's charity. The charity's foundation continues to provide sheltered accommodation, run from Mount Pleasant.
The main gates of Churchill College and Fitzwilliam College open on to the road, and so does the back entrance of Murray Edwards College. Trinity Hall has newer student rooms here, and its sports ground sits between the road and Huntingdon Road. Close by are the Ascension Parish Burial Ground, resting place of many Cambridge academics, and the Cambridge Observatory.
A conservation area takes in the houses at the northern end together with the Trinity Hall sports ground. The big detached houses date from the early 1900s, and a number are by the Arts and Crafts architect Baillie Scott. St John's College began building on part of its own land here in the early 1990s, adding The Crescent, a Regency-style townhouse crescent.
