Druid St and Crucifix Lane? The imagination runs wild. Kate Mosse has written a book titled Crucifix Lane that is set here, but in the future. What happened here in the past?
British History on-line only mentions the lane briefly as you walk through the area - "under the railway arches, by way of Crucifix Lane, a name which savours of "the olden time," "
Very interesting. I must have been there often but never found out the reason for the name. There is a local history library mind there.
ReplyDeleteI used to live down a Paternoster Lane which was quite near a Papist Way
ReplyDeleteThis looked so familiar that I had to look it up to see where it was located. I'm pretty sure that I walked through that tunnel years ago when my friends and I were trying to find the restaurant called "Champor-Champor". It was a restaurant that turned out to be simply fantastic.
ReplyDeleteQuite an unusual pairing of names. It gives the writer in me some ideas...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't fancy walking or driving down that road!
