* Named thus as a nod to the history of London Street, the road on which The Book Hive sits. Originally, the road was called Hosyergate, meaning ‘street of the stocking makers’ – old Danish ‘gata’ meant ‘street’. But in the 17th century it became Cockey Lane: named after The Great Cockey, a small river, now lost, which ran through the area (‘cockey’ is a Norfolk colloquialism for stream). It was actually only in the 18th century, when the road was paved over, that the street was renamed London Street, after the fashion of importing London-related street names.
