White Horse in High Street, and paid one pound of cummin seed rent of assise
for it to Hussey Hall. In 1773, White Horse Lane was called the First Oil
Mills Lane, from buildings of that description having been established there.
The Protestant Dissenters' burial-ground is in White Horse Lane; it was first
occupied for that purpose about 1763, and was closed in 1847, except for
families having vaults; it was closed entirely January 1st, 1856, on the
opening of the New General Cemetery.
Opposite to White Horse Lane is the comparatively new street called LIQIJOR
POND STREET, which wevvill notice on our return. A little below White Horse
Lane, on the same side of the High Street, is a narrow entrance called HESLAIM'S
ALLEY, which leads to a small chapel, founded before 1727, by the IN'DEPENDENT
BAPTISTS. The present building was erected in 1742, on land which was the
property of William H-eslam, from whom the place has its name. An encroachment appears to have been made upon the entrance to the Alley; for the
original deed, which vested the property in trustees, describes the width of the
alley as being six feet; it is now scarcely half so wide. This chapel was
purchased in 1844, by the General Baptists for a school-room. Mr. Coats, a
Universalist, was at one time the minister of this chapel; and at a later period,
