The line of the old alleyway (chare) called Love Lane is maintained between the converted warehouse buildings Image Love Lane was the birthplace of John Scott, first Earl of Eldon and Lord Chancellor. On 18 November 1772, before his later fame, he eloped with Elizabeth (Bessie) Surtees, the daughter of a wealthy local banker, marrying against her father's wishes Image However, unlike his birthplace in Love Lane, her house on Sandhill is still extant, and shown here Image http://www.historyhome.co.uk/people/eldon.htm
