History

Byard Lane has existed since the Middle Ages when it was known as Walleonelane, Walloonlane or Wooler Lane [1] probably a corruption of Wall-On Lane as it abutted the town defences.

In 1757, the early history of Methodism in the town had its roots here when Mary White hosted John Nelson and other early Methodists in her house in Chapel Court off Byard Lane. Chapel Court has now disappeared.

In the early 19th century, the Harlequin Public House and Bakehouse was at the top of the street. [2]

In 1866 it became known as Dining Hall Street [3] but it continued to be referred to by its former name and eventually Dining Hall Street was dropped and it reverted over time to Byard Lane.
