> Hi Bruce,

> In Burton in Lonsdale (which is in Yorkshire near the Yorkshire/Lancashire border at the north-end of our Leeming area) there is a "Leeming Lane".
>
> The attached show its location and a couple of views.
>
> BURTON01 & 02 are taken looking south at the junction of Chapel Lane and Leeming Lane
>
> BURTON03 & 04 are taken from the other (west) end of Leeming Lane looking back towards Chapel Lane, the wall on the left is that of the churchyard (Victorian).

> Some properties on Leeming Lane appear very old. I have no idea when it got the name. Burton in Lonsdale was in the parish of Thornton in Lonsdale and there was a Leeming burial in 1711 (Jane of Burton) and a baptism in 1731 at Burton Chapel (hence the Chapel Lane?). There was a will for Edward (1684) and admons for William (1844) a merchant who died in Jamaica.

> May be that someone knows the history of Leeming Lane or someone wants to find out. I have no plans to research it further.
