Clarendon Lanes

other

Clarendon Lanes functions as a narrow, brick-lined pedestrian passage tucked between the older stone buildings of the ByWard Market. While most of the city streets follow a grid of wide thoroughfares, this alley preserves the tight, irregular footprint of nineteenth century carriage routes. Merchants once used the space to move goods from the backs of York and George Street warehouses. Today, the space serves as a quiet, stone-paved shortcut where the city noise fades beneath the overhangs of surrounding restaurant patios.
