The lane was formerly known as 'Cattle Market Yard'. Cattle used to be sold in the adjoining market, and an enterprising lady living in the yard made hot salty pies for sale to the traders. After eating these pies it was necessary to adjourn to the nearby 'Green Dragon' to quench their thirst - the landlord of which just happened to be a relation!
