Duklane

According to Carlin and Belcher, [i]n 1316 Dukelane apparently ran westward into Vitrielane and that, furthermore, it is [n]ow [the] N. End of Little Britain (Carlin and Belcher 72). Ekwall notes that [t]he meaning [of the lane] is clearly ‘lane where ducks were reared’, but the name seems to have been wrongly read with the vowel of duke and mis-interpreted (Ekwall 106).
