Billericay Way
"Billericay Way" is the name OpenStreetMap gives, since 2025, to the drive through the grounds of the Billerica Public Library at 15 Concord Road in Billerica Centre. It runs about 475 feet from Concord Road, along the south side of the library, to the rear parking lot by Blanchard Avenue. No town report, registry of deeds index or assessor's record found uses the name, so it appears to be an unofficial name rather than the name of a street.
The drive belongs to the library built at the turn of the century on the site that had held the old Town Hall and the police station of 1960. The town report for fiscal 2000 called the library "a new state-of-the-art facility at the former Town Hall" and recorded that "On May 8, 2000 the beautiful new Billerica Public Library was dedicated to the town's people." Aerial photographs show no drive on this line in the 1990s and the drive in place by 2001.
The name recalls Billericay, in Essex, England, the town for which Billerica was named at its incorporation in 1655; the settlers' petition to the General Court asked that "the Name of Shawshin henceforth may bee cal'd Billericay." The two towns have kept up a link for many years, with exchanges of gifts in 1970, visits by Billericay students and officials, and the Billericay Mayflower Twinning Group, which was welcomed at town meeting in 2006. Who applied the name to the library drive was not found.
