The Lamb Inn was located near the old Cattle Market.
Dog Lane was a thoroughfare which once linked Eastgate Street with Market Parade. It ran along the back of Kings Square, and was a useful shortcut for pedestrians and cyclists. At one end was Bellows the Printers, and at the other was the Lamb Inn, facing the old Market.
The Market Parade end of Dog Lane exists today as a ramp leading to the Eastgate Shopping Development.
