You can see the minster from my brother in laws drive if that helps but when we visit we never go near the city centre.

We have a book called "Snickleways of York" though which is really good. Had it for maybe 30 years so it might be out of print now.

Thank you ill see if i can find the book or if there is something like it if not... i have no doubt some of the best dibbers have been born there ... this could be why i have been drawn to book something there when i thought i wanted the dorset coast😉

You'd be amazed at the derivation of some of the "Lane" names but as this is a family forum I'm not going there. After over 16 years on here I value my DIBB membership.

It's a reference to one of the trades that were plied there - and no not The Shambles.

Give me a few minutes to dig it out.

But if you promise not to tell anyone just Google Grape Lane. Anyone else please don't complain if you're offended.

And look out for Whip-ma-whop-ma gate, name is longer than the street.
The glass cat shop is where the cat trail comes from as well.
