Description:The buildings on the left hand side of Quonians Lane date from the 16th century. The lane is mentioned in the 1325 Book of Dean and Chapter Possessions as leading to a well. Quonians Lane was possibly a Pilgrims Path from the City to the Well of St. Chad at Stowe.
The building on the extreme left of this photograph was once Dame Oliver's School, which Samuel Johnson attended. R. Bridgeman and Sons can be seen a little further down the lane. This is a stonemason's firm founded by Robert Bridgeman in 1879. The firm have worked on the Cathedral and continued to work on churches, ancient buildings and city walls all over the world until it closed in 2011.
