Now I am not surprised that Bow Lane rarely features in the street directories.
These were the books which were issued annually from the 1780s up to 1969 and listed the streets, the residents and the businesses in the city.
Bow Lane which runs from Cross Street over Clarence Street and then twist on to Princess Street seems unworthy of much of a mention; although to be fair there were two listings for 1911.
And twists it does widening as it travels up from Cross Street but now just a cut through for anyone wanting to avoid the main streets. That said it does offer an opportunity to look into the Town Hall Tavern.
