The name possibly comes from the Middle English 'druerie', meaning lover or affection; but is also said to be the surname of one of the Conquerer's captains in 1066. However, Lincoln's first theatre was established at the end of this road in 1744, some 80 years after the playhouse in London in that town's Drury Lane, so this may just be an affectionate pun or a bit of aggrandisement.
