Davey Place was built as a pedestrian thoroughfare in 1813. Alderman Jonathan Davey was responsible, causing some concern, initially, when he announced that he intended putting a hole in the King’s Head. In fact this was the name of a public house which was demolished to give access from the Market Place.
