Salt Pie Lane, Kirkby Lonsdale


Salt Pie Lane runs from Horse Market to a narrow entrance on to Main Street in Kirkby Lonsdale. 

Formerly known as 'Cattle Market Yard', the name had by 1911 changed to Salt Pie Lane. Cattle used to be sold in the adjoining market, and an enterprising lady living in the yard made hot salty pies for sale to the traders. After consumption of the pies it was necessary to adjourn to the nearby 'Green Dragon', now 'The Snooty Fox', to slake their thirst - the landlord of which just happened to be a relation!
