73-89 Rasen Lane, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
A possible medieval road or track connecting Newport with Bradegate and Cliffgate. The first documentary references date from the late 12th century but has been suggested that it may be as early as the late 11th century.
It is possible that the name is from the Rasen family in the 15th century or Joseph Reason a landowner in the area and innkeeper at the Dolphins Inn before 1784, and the Scarborough Arms 1784-1820, but the name may be early 19th-century, as the Enclosure Award plan names it Newport Road, and it is Dum Mans Lane in 16th-century documents. It was also named Racecourse Road (as was Long Leys Road) in the early 19th century, and widened at the south-east corner of Saxon Street in 1897.
