Norwich. During<br />
World War II the<br />
Bencards entertained<br />
many servicemen and<br />
women at their home<br />
who were on leave,<br />
including John<br />
Taylor. He honoured<br />
the couple’s<br />
generosity by naming<br />
a street after them.<br />
[The 1967 newspaper<br />
source says the street<br />
was originally named<br />
Norway <strong>Street</strong>. This<br />
does not appear in<br />
street directories and<br />
may have been a<br />
name proposed.]<br />
First appears in street<br />
directories in 1970.<br />
