Post Office Lane, Burrowgate, Penrith

Forgot to say - have you looked in newspapers.

Has double use here in 1864:

This is from Penrith Local Board newspaper report in 1878 (I think there is another Post Office Lane in Parton, near Whitehaven,), so the lane is still named as such.

This gives a fun look at some of the streets, in 9 stages, with a bit of history and photos:

Thank you very much Chempat!

I am unsure why the lane is listed as it is. Although I think Post Office Lane was part of Rowcliffe or a small lane coming off of it (From what I can see the small lanes on the surveyor map coming off Rowcliffe lane no longer appear to be there). I will contact cfhs and other historical sources and see what they say as I have not been able to locate where Post Office Lane itself Is/was.

Again many thanks for your help and all the information provided as it has been a great help to me!
