1 gen 1612 anni - Nowtgate

Descrizione:

Literally Cattle Lane, a York street-name which has not survived. It was recorded in 1612 (PNER300) and Angelo Raine identified it as today’s George Street. By 1612 the suffix ‘gate’ had replaced the earlier word ‘geil’ which also had a Scandinavian origin and meant ‘narrow lane or passage between houses’. In 1353 land released by Walter de Kelsterne was said to stretch from ‘the highstreet of Walmegate in front as far as the lane called <i>Noutegale</i> behind’ (YRS102/177) and in 1365 property in Walmgate and Fishergate was said to abut on <i>Noutgaile</i> (YRS111/184).
