Looking down towards the junction of Well Lane and Danesgate as they both head off towards Steep Hill.

 

Well Lane follows the line of a late Roman Street since Medieval times it has been known as Bower Hill, Bowyer Hill and then Browns Grove.

 

Danesgate was created as part of a change in the street layout in the lower city in the 11th century. Over the years it has been called Dansegate, Danissegate and Daynesgate, Danes Street, Starch Lane, Buttering Lane and Chant Aldenby Lane. In medival times there was a road called Scolegate which turned off to the east and continued onto Monks Road. The name Danesgate was revived in 1830 by the Lighting and Paving Commissioners. The junction with Clasketgate was closed off in October 1982 at the same time as the widening of Flaxengate.

 

In Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
