This could be your chance to make history!

Brundall Parish Council is requesting suggestions for new road names at the Norfolk Homes/Broom Boats development for 155  houses, off Berryfields, Brundall.

clerk@brundall-pc.gov.uk
 

The deadline is  5pm, March 7, 2021. Don’t forget to include your full name and address in the email.

Brundall Local History Group has compiled an alphabetical list of all the present street names in Brundall with an explanation of their origins.

Most of the west side of Cucumber Lane was the home of Read's Nurseries, which also occupied part of what is now the Berryfields estate.	This was the home of George Levine, an art dealer and historian who wrote the first history of Brundall. Levine Close is named after him.	Highfield Avenue was reported to be "a very rutted, unmade, tree-lined road" until the mid-1960s. Its name reflects the steep slope and the fact that it ran between fields.
