What is recorded here
This green commemorative plaque records: Salt Pie Lane Formerly known as 'Cattle Market Yard', the name had by 1911 changed to Salt Pie Lane. Cattle used to be sold in the adjoining Horse Market, and in enterprising lady living in the yard made hot salted mutton 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! Recorded plaque organisation: Kirkby Lonsdale Civic Society.
Salt Pie Lane was originally called 'Cattle Market Yard' and became known for hot salted mutton pies sold by an enterprising resident to cattle traders; the nearby pub, then named 'Green Dragon', provided refreshments.
