Meeting House Lane

other

Meeting House Lane features a narrow, winding alleyway paved with uneven stone, tightly hemmed in by three and four story buildings that date back several centuries. This passage takes its name from the seventeenth century Quaker meeting house once located here, which served as a clandestine refuge for dissenters fleeing state-sanctioned religious persecution. Today, the alley connects the bustling seafront to the older parts of the city, keeping its medieval footprint even as jewelry shops and independent boutiques fill the storefronts.
