BALLARDES LANE

   West out of Chancery Lane.

   A messuage in Chancery Lane is described as lying between the messuage in the tenure of the Six Clerks north and Ballard's Lane south and abutting on the highway called Chancellor Lane east and the field called Thicketfield west, 1530 (L. and P. H. VIII. V. p. 22).

   The description would seem to indicate that this was the early name of Carey Street (q.v.).
