This picturesque cobbled lane runs between the Golden Ball on Bishophill down to Skeldergate. There is an explanatory plaque on the wall with a brief history of the lane. It should not be confused with the similarly named Carr Lane in Acomb.
Text of the plaque .......
Formerly known as Le Kirke Lane, Kirk Lane or Kirkgail (13th century)
Later renamed Carr's Lane, possibly because John Carr, distinguished architect and Lord Mayor of York lived in a large residence on the north east corner of the lane.
