Main Street, Kirkby Lonsdale


Main Street in Kirkby Lonsdale runs north from the A65, past the Market Square and New Road, and up to Market Street and Mill Brow. The street is about ¼mile long and forms part of the B6254 route. It is the principle shopping street in the town; there are serveral inns and cafes

The Medieval town was defined by four roads which met near St Mary's Church: Mitchelgate (originally called ‘Bichelgate’) came in from Kendal and the west. Fairbank came from the north and Scotland. Mill Brow led east to a ford across the River Lune and routes east, including towards Settle in Yorkshire. Main Street was the road to the Devil’s Bridge and roures south to Lancaster, along the west bank of the Lune.
