THE LANES

View of Poplar Place, the Model House Tavern and Clarence Yard in 1923. The North Street end of Meeting House Lane was at one time known as Poplar Place, because of six tall poplar trees that were cut down in 1872. One tree stood exactly opposite the Tavern. Although the houses were numbered in Meeting House lane as far back as the 1850’s, the name Poplar Place, persisted for many years to come. The tavern was so named after the Model Dwellings, artisans flats built in the 1850’s between the back of the Clarence Hotel and Ship Street Court and later absorbed into the Post Office buildings.
