Description
"The line of the old alleyway (chare) called Love Lane is maintained between the converted warehouse buildings [[2155786]] Love Lane was the birthplace of John Scott, first Earl of Eldon and Lord Chancellor. On 18 November 1772, before his later fame, he eloped with Elizabeth (Bessie) Surtees, the daughter of a wealthy local banker, marrying against her father's wishes [[1018305]] However, unlike his birthplace in Love Lane, her house on Sandhill is still extant, and shown here [[1159902]] http://www.historyhome.co.uk/people/eldon.htm" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2010. -
