2 Manor Street in Hull's historic Land of Green Ginger. One of the strangest named streets in the country and, worst of all, one with no known origin for the name. There have been many theories, but the truth of the name's origin remain lost to time. It forms part of Beverley Street, or Old Beverley Street - a name used in the 14th century. In the 16th century parts of this ancient route were known as Fish Street and The Land of Green Ginger. By the 17th century, the southern part as known as Sewer Lane and archeologists have found evidence of a watercourse running alongside.
