L is for Lendal
This is the view looking up Lendal from just inside the Museum Gardens. An unusual name for a street it is probably derived from its close proximity to St Leonards Hospital. Prior to becoming known as Lendal it was called Aldeconyngstrete or Old Coney Street.

It looks a lovely place - I always find names to be an interesting link to chapters long-forgotten.
