Narrow Racket (looking towards Liargate) Beverley
Narrow Racket is an alley that runs from Lairgate, to Saturday Market. Its original name was most probably Narrow Lane, first recorded in 1409, that ran between the High Street (which then comprised North Bar Within, Saturday Market, Toll Gavel, Butcher Row and Wednesday Market) and Lairgate.
According to The Yorkshire Palette: A racket is an open expanse between passages so called perhaps because these were the haunts of the unsavoury, the unscrupulous, the down right drudge of society that carried out their dodgy deals and “rackets” in these areas.
