Dolman's Lane

Photograph at the Dolman's Lane black plaque

Dolman's Lane In medieval times this alleyway was probably home to an official called the Doleman who gave out (or "doled") charity at a nobleman's funeral to anyone who said a prayer for the dead person. By the mid 19th Century Dolman's Lane housed countless families, many of Irish origin, who had come to Warrington in search of work.
