27646

The Terrace, a building of various managed workspaces off Grantham Street, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

 

Grantham Street was called Brancegate in 1185, Brantegate 1226, Brauncegate 1341, Grantham Lane 1650 until 1846 when the name Grantham Street was adopted. Brauncegate continued west of the High Street as St Martins Church is located there in documents of the 1460s. The area has been considered to have been the area inhabited by Jews until the expulsion of 1290. It is possible, as suggested by Speeds 1607 map, that the street formerly continued directly eastwards to the Clasket gate, rather than ending at Danesgate. Probably named after the Grantham family. The houses were renumbered in April 1859 by order of the Lighting and Paving Commissioners.
