Barker Lane

A narrow lane connecting Micklegate with Tanner Row/Toft Green.

Under this spot lies a Roman road which paralleled the main road from the fortress on the north east bank of the Ouse to Tadcaster (Calceria) which crossed Barker Lane about half way along towards Toft Green. Perhaps this was a part of the Roman street grid of the Colonia established on the south west bank of the Ouse.
